Whether creating artwork on clothing, murals or fine art, the ultimate experience for the viewer is his/her first impression. Subtleties , lines, patterns, vantage points and how the human eye is drawn around the space are considered when creating

“I believe art within any landscape should either put the viewer at ease, urging them to stay a while, or it should cause disruption in their souls. There is no in-between. For that is boredom, like overworked art, like a shopping aisle magazine. Im in love with architecture, photography and interior design. I believe great art must consider ll of these elements. ” LOURDES en FLEUR
