As some of you know, this is what I was up to last weekend. London! The vibrant, spunky city! Our first stop was at the Saatchi Gallery, situated in the beautiful, rather well off looking Chelsea hood. The gallery is hosting an exhibition focused on Arabic and Middle East artists. Very interesting and thought provoking. The building is also a gemstone itself. Spacious and beautifully lit.
Of course I was intrigued by the zesty pink. As you can see, the light-hued wood floors give a nice and not too overtaking of a frame to the pieces.
More space. Lots of it. And in the artwork this spring’s hit color yellow pointing its peppy nose in the most charming way. I enjoy the combination. Soothing yet energetic.
To me this piece is the zippiest. On canvas the colors seem to please my eye. In clothing I wouldn’t couple them up. Would I…? Hmm.
This is just the beginning of my London story. More is on the way my dear friends!

I was gonna say you should have hit me up, but then realised I wouldn’t have been around anyways!
Maybe next time…

Marianne – You know, I thought about contacting you, but after having seen the intense program that my friend had cooked up for us I said that not this time. Unfortunately. I hope to be back soon. And also, I’ll tell you more privately sometime later, but I’d love to pose for you, if ever you’d be interested of course…
Audrey – The gallery was a true find! My friend knew of its existence. I just love Chelsea. Even the name rings beautifully to my ear.
