American Girl

World Press Photo annual visit in Kraków.

There’s been a series of Ilona Szwarc photographs displaying girls with their American Girls Dolls. I remember reading about these photos sometime ago and look at this: Ilona’s been honored on World Press Photo!! Currently on display in Bunkier Sztuki, Krakow 🙂

American Girl Dolls website; www.americangirl.com/

The dolls are impersonation of their owners. The business around them is unbelievable; there’s Dolls hospital (mainly for body repairs but think about ear piercing, $14.. ), there’s Dolls’ Spa, you can take your doll to a hairdresser where she’ll have her hair done!

Ilona’s photos are true art photography, they speak more than words. Absolutely love it.

What I do not understand is why the programme around the exhibition is so poor.. aaaynyways. I ♡ MATTA

Chilean art is all about soul, colors and magic realizm – that is in their architecture, paintings, literature. One lucky day I will travel to this beautiful country.

Musée du Louvre: the holy ground. Tt gives me thrives to see the most famous sculptures of all times so close and with every detail. This one is made of a beautiful marble that glitters in the sunlight. Psyche and Cupido: the beauty starts and ends just here.

Long time ago, when browsing old family photo albums Aphrodite of Milos started my fascination with art. And here she is: grand, majestic, eternal….
