Room XX by Miquel Barceló







This is a giant art installation in the UN’s palace of nations in geneva. It covers the roof (a full 4,600 square feet!) with multi-coloured stalactite forms. The scale of this is incredible, something I would definitely love to see in person. It transforms the room into a giant cave, making it seem as if the world is dripping down to the floor, incredible colours, incredible scale, incredible everything!

More Strange and Surreal Sea Anemones






I adore the vibrant colours! They seem so full of life yet are stationary and barely move... just gently reaching for something just out of grasp. They have a gently glowing ambience to them which I like.

Exploring Sea Anemones






Sea anemones are unusual things, they look quite alien. However, I love their tentacles! Strangely elegant. I like how they are layered up and curve together. 

More Sculptures by Bean Finneran






They look like strange creatures from the deep sea, they are quite surreal I think. I like the fact that they have painstakingly been built up on that specific spot, it makes them feel like they belong there.

Bean Finneran's Colourful Sculptures






These are made from hundreds and hundreds of rolls of clay, and then painstakingly constructed. They remind me very much of birds nests and sea anemones. I think they are beautiful, they seem so delicate and fragile, and you can see the work and dedication that has gone into them. Because of their material and fragility, they are site specific and can never be moved.

Yaacov Agam Fountains






The first is in Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv, the second is in the La Défense district in Paris. I love the colours and contrasts! The colours make them seem very positive and friendly to me, which is a nice feeling. 

More Tracy Melton Tree Ring Paintings






I just adore the colours and contrasts in these... so eyecatching, i'd love to have a wall covered in them! I like looked for all the different colour and size combinations, they are all similar yet each slightly different and unique, reflecting the tree they came from.
