The purpose of the work and a short description is that the work demonstrates how the individual shape, and color reminds me of the sea that is infinite so the individual is large, complex. for me the most striking aspect of this work was the DNA strand as it has a striking form as it is connected to all things painted on the box.
If I had the chance to take one thing of the museum, I would like to take the ´´Cosmic Fiber´´, 2014, which consists of two leaflets that is made by six individual pictures placed next to each other.

The reason why I would like to take this work is because I noticed that the six paintings that form one art together, make the work not so charged. Also because the combination of the colors. The colors are vivid, bright colors. Considering that my house has an area where the picture would highlight. Worth mentioning that the furniture in my house are gray, with black wall. The work and the wall make good combination and contrast. In this work I see different things, such as a duck, a crazy world, with a lot of movement, much happiness, and much

The author uses the original drawing in the page to recreate and integrate it to his own creation. Fabelo's peculiar style gives as a result a series of smart, graphically detailed, bold, spicy creatures: half human, half divine.…

I had a single story about the building; I thought I might have chosen the wrong museum to go to since it is small in size. However, as soon as I walked through the main door, I had a good feeling in a cozy building with full of American Indian artifacts, pottery, and native fashion. I was filled with more knowledge through the major regions of United States and Canada such as Woodland, Plains, Southwest, Northwest, and Arctic.…

She an independent woman who likes the idea of love and who has a good taste in hotels as well as in having fun. But as a photographer, I would say she has perfect timing and place techniques.

The purpose of art exhibitions is to show the audience an organized presentation of particular art pieces.
