I don't know about you guys but "life without art is just eh".

I easily get lost into abstract paintings there's just something about these paintings: the swirl, splatters, and mix of colors, along with the mystery behind the artwork. I've always been a fan of art but lately I've been so much into abstract watercolor, oil, or acrylic paintings, they just always capture my attention because I love being in my own artsy state of mind. Lately, I just can't get enough of soft pastels especially the combination of dusty pink, sky blue, and hints of gold. Art inspires me in so many ways and I'm hoping to get back to painting again!

This past week I finally got a chance to check out LA's new contemporary art museum: The Broad. I was blown away by all the amazing art,  I had already seen some of the art work at other museums but this time I got a chance to discover new artists. My all time favorite art work was Yayoi Kusama's  Infinity Mirrored Room- The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away. This installation was made up of mirrors and dozens of hanging LED lights, resembling a dream or galaxy! I had never seen anything like it, it was breathtakingly beautiful and memorable. I also enjoyed learning and discovering other artists like: Robert Therrien, Glenn Ligon, and Takashi Murakami to name a few. If you guys get a chance, make sure to reserve tickets to this museum, I know tickets are pretty much booked, but I think there may be a few tickets left around November and December ...so start booking! Trust me this museum is worth visiting if you're in the LA area!

PS- Thanks to my friend Humberto, who works at The Broad, for his recommendations and expertise!
