Born in Medellín, his signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

Diego Velázquez ( baptized June 6, 1599, Sevilla, Spain—died August 6, 1660, Madrid) was a Spanish painter, the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV, and one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. He was an individualistic artist of the contemporary Baroque period. In addition to numerous renditions of scenes of historical and cultural significance, he painted scores of portraits of the Spanish royal family, other notable European figures, and commoners.

Melting clocks

Salvador  Dalí (1904 –  1989), was a prominent Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. The Persistence of Memory (1931) is one of his most recognizable works. This painting made Dali world famous at 28.

I must say I'm not a huge fan of Dali myself, but definitely his works are most interesting  with lots of details.  

Bright Colors and Joan Miró

Many years ago before my "postcrossing-time"  I bought this little PostcardBook, a set of  Joan Miro's postcards and there are still some of them left in my art collection.

The work of Joan Miró is immediately identifiable by his unique style, bright colours and signature shapes. He was at the forefront of Spanish modern art and internationally acclaimed artist.

Joan Miró i Ferrà (1893 Barcelona – 1983 Palma de Mallorca) oli katalonialainen taidemaalari, kuvanveistäjä ja keraamikko. Mirón töitä on kuvattu surrealistisiksi, lapsenomaisiksi, katalonialaista kansallisylpeyttä ilmentäviksi ja alitajuntaa peilaaviksi.
