Pablo Picasso and Pop Culture Icons equals to pie-in-the-sky brilliance! If Picasso was still alive, the result of his superheroes and villains inspired series would come close to these artworks. WonderBros, the design company who made these compositions, called it "Artworks so awesome it will melt your face off!" I have always been a big fan of their blog and I love love love these artworks. Long live superpowers!!!

Figueres translates to 'fig trees' in Catalan. The town is located around 2 hours from Barcelona. It is the birth place of Salvador Dalí and houses Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí, a museum dedicated to Dalí's work and influences. The museum was fully designed and artistically thought out by the artist himself and first opened it's doors in September 28, 1974. I have waited for so long for this day to come and it was truly an unbelievable experience. Remarkable is an understatement. The experience was overwhelming and screaming with eccentric creativity. The Dalí museum is such an important educational treasure of the arts!

The Scuba Diver Statue is placed above the main entrance of the museum to invite visitors to swim into the deepest darkest waters of the soul, in this case Salvador Dalí's.

Pablo Picasso (1967)

I had brunch at the Sothebys auction house in New Bond Street and was very lucky to have been able to see a preview for the collection of their Contemporary Art Evening pieces, which will be exhibited later on this month. I wish I had taken my G12 camera out with me but I suppose mobile photography proves to be better than I thought.

 Warm Blini with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche

 Summer Pudding with Clotted Cream

 Abstraktes Bild (1991)- Gerhard Richter

 Jean-Michel Basquiat's Untitled and Harlem Paper Side by Side

 Untitled (1981)

This engaging and combative warrior-figure painting is such an amazing Basquiat piece! An interesting artist who addresses concerns of race, identity and mortality through art. He started off as a graffiti artist in the late 1970's in New York City.

 Muletero (1990)  

Corrida or bullfight, recognised to be Miquel Barceló's most important series. He shows the mysticism and importance surrounding the spectacle of man battling with nature. Powerful and dramatic. These photos does not do the painting justice!
