I have found something absolutely amazing and fun! It all started last summer when I was visiting London with my friends. The wall paintings (and more accurately) stencils there caught my attention. I hate grey, dull city scenery, so it's very pleasing to see some brave ones to take action! So I'm not the guerilla-type of a person, so I mostly admire others. (But you never know when the need to do something takes over).
So the wildest thing to me was not to go to a paint store, but to buy an inspirating picture book about stencils and other wall art from (suprisingly) the British Museum (I SO love museums). On one page there was a fine picture, but I was mostly interested about the text above it: Banksy can kiss my ass. Banksy who? Then I forgot all about it.
But this week I travelled to Helsinki (to study for a couple of days). I went to Kiasma - the museum of modern art. The level of how much feelings and thoughts the art there awaked in me was really diversified. And the best place was the little store downstairs. All the books and little trinkets! Ahh!
There I lay my eyes on a book about Banksy. Ahhh! This is the one! Wow! Look for yourself: http://www.banksy.co.uk/
By the way. The most funny modern art piece was by Anssi Kasitonni. It looks like this:

This is one of my favourite pictures and now I know why. I saw an art programme and there was an artist who told about Van Gogh's and his friend Gauguin's colour schemes. It was actually their "invention and science". I really luv these colour combinations! For example our kitchen is turquoise and bright red (and white - I have to admit).
This is the painting that takes me back to 2004 when me and my friend were Interrailing and visited The Vincent Van Gogh museum at Amsterdam. I soooo wanted to buy a replica of it, but the painting could not travel easy in or on my back pack.
The colours and the quirky way of making the perspective makes this a nice one too.
Gauguin loved the complementary colours so much he wanted there to be many of them side by side.
That is why I like Gauguin and Van Gogh.
