Remedios Varo

Today I love this painting by Remedios Varo: Papilla Estelar, 1958

As regards important exhibitions, it is all about El Greco in Spain this year. Last year it was all about Surrealism (according to some, in order to mirror "l'esprit du temps").

 If you'd like to check a list with all the works that were featured at the exhibition "Surrealism and the dream" at the Thyssen Museum in Madrid, you can find them all on this microsite, just click here.

Leonor Fini

"It's hard to define talent. Where does it come from?



I think it's the product of a type of revolt.


A strong need to make your mark."



I love the work of Leonor Fini, the surrealist Argentinian painter.
