Another of my obsessions is with flowers, but not just any flower: flowers photographed up close and blurred to render them abstract. I had gone to an orchid show and the camera was acting up and could not focus so several of the photos came out blurred but still, I saw beauty in these photos and decided not to erase them and instead to pass them through the software I got thanks to the cd reader in my laptop not working and my sister taking me to get an external cd reader... here are the results. The dyptych entitled ¨White orchid, Black orchid¨ are so beautiful... They are printed on fabric at a size of 100 x 100 x 4 cm and have a mahogany frame. I sent them to the 67th Salon Arturo Michelena, the most prestigious art salon in Venezuela but they were not accepted and were returned with the frame in poor condition. I was so annoyed! Artists make all sorts of sacrifices to continue producing art and the transportation is a considerable fee and for them to be returned damaged is so disrespectful! Every year I say to myself that I shall not send another artwork to any art salon... and then in the course of the year I change my mind...
