Shortly thereafter, he had thoughts of becoming a serious painter himself and of following his dreams. While pursuing his dream, he decided to start teaching art to college students.

    At Paseig de Gracia 43, lies a sleeping giant of modernist architecture, Casa Batllo. Its appearance is as amorphous as the free flowing lines and shape of the building itself.

One critic describes the building façade as, having the same effect as a throwing a stone into a pool of water lilies.[1] Many others believe the façade is an allegory for the Catalan legend of St. George, known for travels around medieval Spain slaying dragons.…

    Going for the first time to the M.H. de Young Museum, in San Francisco was a wonderful experience for me. I learned about and saw amazing art that I had never seen before. It was a whole different feeling walking into the museum; everything looked so beautiful and different from what I was expecting to see. The three pieces of art that caught my eye as soon as I looked at them were the First Theme by Burgoyne Diller, Blue point by Kate Shepherd, and most of all The Coming And going by David Salle. This trip was a great experience for me and I got to learn and see new things.…
