"Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research." - Pablo Picasso

School children come to me for art's sake.

"Lolo, what projects can we make?"

It's the idea that stirs their imagination

into many ways of art expression. - avr

 Art with Shells

Shells collection into work of art against a marine scene mural.  

Arrange and mount on a base,  

now a table decor, a receptacle 

of things you love and praise;

truly it's an art-to-craft version,  

for aesthetics and function.  - avr

Marine specimens into artwork   

Paint a sea floor background as base.

Spread out shells and corals freely.

Let your guests touch them and study,

with guidance, and care just in case. - avr        

          

Relief Paintings

 

Birds in the trees

It's painting and sculpture combined,

     with three-dimensional effect;

let thick paint harden on wood palette;

     it's a unique school project. - avr

Pangea, the proto-continent

Like jigsaw puzzle land masses do fit,

through continental drift, scientists say;

Pangea, once the proto-continent split

into seven continents we know today. - avr

                              Imprint Painting on Ceramic  

"E tu Brute?" 

Assassination of Julius Caesar on the "Ides of March". 

Art digs into history, stirs imagination;

the dying Caesar begging his friend;

a final stab, scene in symbolic action,

brings the story to a sad end. - avr

                                       

Fungus Painting 

Fungal mycelia* etching appears like integral part of a wall mural.

Wonder, what is unwanted and destructive,

in art may be beautiful and attractive. - avr 

* Main body of a fungus, consisting of a network of thread-like filaments called hyphae.
