I have enjoyed arts since I was a kid and in different times my tastes have changed from admiring music to admire performance artists, sculptores, painters, poets, etc etc etc. However, I will let you know of the ones I like the most nowadays.

As I just mentioned painting has been one of the Art areas I have admired the most, even more, I wanted to become a painter myself when I was younger and more handsome (LOL), and so, I will show you my favourite Artists who are a couple of painters, one of them is from Israel and the other is from Austria and they have been working together since 1992. They have made most of their career in London and have made incursions in painting, drawing, photography and also photoperformance, believe it or not, also in poetry...

I got to know these painters back in the 2007 on a tour around art galleries and I just fell in love with their painting aesthetics. In most of their work you can recognize some classical benchmarks and references but mixed with very contemporary characters and scenes wich makes one deeply relate to their work, another characteristic is that in their paintings, they propose the idea of being standing at a comic with pop culture images and also they use letters in the forms of poems that contradict and make one think deep of the triviality of post-industrial pop culture and the deep references to an old nostalgic and romantic coyness.

Here I give you some examples of the art pieces I like the most:

Post 9 (09-12): The strangest dream you’ve had.

The strangest repeated dream you’ve had. D reams are a whole unknown dimension, I believe it is not possible that all of them might be entirely untrue, anyway, we spend a great part of our lives sleeping and dreaming so, it might be that they not only represent a subjective part of ourselves but it might constitute a whole reality on their own. My dreams in general are not so strange and neither have I had many repeated ones in my life, most of the time I don’t even remember what I dreamt the night before, but there is one particular dream I have had several times, but more than a dream, it’s the feeling of having dreamt it. I picture myself over sunset in the streets of a big and people-empty city; at some point of the dream I start having physical sensations, as though I was having to lift a very heavy weight and finally I end up rising from the floor and flying. I make a great physical effort to go beyond the line of the buildings and start flying over the empty ...
