I have enjoyed arts since I was a kid and in different times my tastes have changed from admiring music to admire performance artists, sculptores, painters, poets, etc etc etc. However, I will let you know of the ones I like the most nowadays.

As I just mentioned painting has been one of the Art areas I have admired the most, even more, I wanted to become a painter myself when I was younger and more handsome (LOL), and so, I will show you my favourite Artists who are a couple of painters, one of them is from Israel and the other is from Austria and they have been working together since 1992. They have made most of their career in London and have made incursions in painting, drawing, photography and also photoperformance, believe it or not, also in poetry...

I got to know these painters back in the 2007 on a tour around art galleries and I just fell in love with their painting aesthetics. In most of their work you can recognize some classical benchmarks and references but mixed with very contemporary characters and scenes wich makes one deeply relate to their work, another characteristic is that in their paintings, they propose the idea of being standing at a comic with pop culture images and also they use letters in the forms of poems that contradict and make one think deep of the triviality of post-industrial pop culture and the deep references to an old nostalgic and romantic coyness.

Here I give you some examples of the art pieces I like the most:

  4. It strikes me that this work is done together when sometimes we think that this type of art is more individual

  5. So post modern, they have a good technique, good pespective and a interesting use of colors, but i can't read.... or understand the speech in their work. At moments, the first work takes me to Goya....
