Artist that I admire

Hello, guys. Today I could not attend class because I went to the hospital.

Well... Today I have to talk about an artist that I admire... There are a lot of cool artists in this world, I admire various of them, however I admit that I do not like much contemporary art; I prefer old school.



I admire Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, commonly known as Diego Velázquez, this artist born in Spain at the end of 16th Century and was a painter from Baroque period. His style is known because he did not do sketchs at his paintings. Instead, he chose to instalntly apply the brushwork. Fow this reason, when you reach a certain distance from a Velázquez's your eye can unite all this brushstroke and see a figure; nevertheless, when you are so close to his paintings, you can not see a solid figure; instead, you can clearly see his brushworks. I like that kind of illusion at his paintings.

Well... that's all!

See you later, guys <3. Have a nice weekend.
