Hajar

Adriana wanted to give Hajar a present that would, like their friendship, resist through time and distance… So she asked me to paint something that would play with their friendship memories. That way, they will never really be apart, and they will be reminded of the upcoming day when they will , once again, meet, play and  be merry!

Valentine´s day

It´s funny to see how love works.

Flowers, chocolate, candle lit dinner, passion…

That´s indeed how I believe it should be. However, people can use any excuse to ´cheat´ (also) this date an not make something special out of it…

Lovers: do not take a NO for an answer! Stand up for your right to love and be loved in a very romantic way! Enough with the half-way-lazy-ass-excuses for  not doing or recieving a day (or night) to remember.

Exagerate! Make a love statement! Be ridiculously in love for once, for God´s sake! There´s nothing more adorable than being in love! There´s nothing better than this generous feeling of abundance that love, passion and romance can be!

Lovers: go crazy!

Enough with lazyness and boredom. Enough with being cheap and uncreative. Enough of taking for granted this amazing opportunity do make (and above all: to BE) special, happy and LOVED!

Happy Valentine´s Day everyone… It was about time.

How to love yourself

Happyness doesn´t depend of anyone but yourself.

Love, recognition, support, kindness, simpathy, empathy, care should come from inside.

When you feel whole you don´t need anyone else to fullfill your life – then the right person comes along… and makes it even more fun!
