Abaporu is an oil painting by Brazilian artist, Tarsila do Amaral.
I was able to admire this painting and some other pretty cool artwork at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA).
I always find it very interesting to learn about the many things that can influence an artist: nature, religion, humanity, inhumanity, politics, other artists, culture, music, time, the good, the bad, life struggles, love, hate, relationships, current trends, etc.
This makes me realize that our perception in everything we see, do and believe in is greatly affected by everything around us. I think that's why I enjoy being outdoors, why I have a passion for music, photography and travel so much. Sensory overload at its finest. :)

"Sensory overload at its finest" - I love it! Art never fails to fascinate me and yes, it's just amazing to think about all the things that influence artists (and us). I like this painting a lot!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, thanks for liking my sensory overload comment. :) I agree with you, it is amazing how many things influence us too. Makes life so much more interesting.
