Picasso and I...

Picasso himself had one, now myself is somewhat experiencing the same thing- A 'Blue Period' or 'Periodo Azul' as it´s called in Spanish.

Feeling a bit confused?
Allow me to explain!

The 'Blue Period' is a term used to define to the works produced by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso between 1901 and 1904, when he painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors.

These somber works, inspired by Spain but painted in Paris, are now some of his most popular works, although he had difficulty selling them at the time...

My passion for blue started a little while ago during my 'Style searching'.
I´m always in some sort of passion when it comes to interior design and home decor. Now it just happens to be blue and the starting point must have been this down below so beautiful bluepainted bureau from my dear friend Mon´s house(click here to see more of this beautiful eclectic home and click here to transport yourself to Mon´s successfull blog 'Splendid Willow'.
I simply love it and ever since I´ve had a MAJOR crush on blue!

It´s like a new world has opened up for me. You see, I have never before been into the colors of blue, especially not when it comes to interior design and interior decorating. So now I´m totally experiencing something new and find potential in things I would have never even looked at before.

Thank you Mon, I love being in love with blue:)!

Even though Picassos Blue period obviously represented a quite dark time in his life, blue must be considered as a versatile type of color. It has a dark and a bright side, it´s a masculine type of color but with a truly quite femine side as well, it can be looked at as noble yet bohemian.
I´m truly in love with blue this moment and if I was about to follow my passion I would go wild with a dark rich blue color on my todays white walls.

What´s your passion right now? Any particular Color, Style, Designer, 'Thing'...?

Found this pic. a while ago and felt like immedeately getting started with all kinds of colors on a big white empty canvas!
Can you feel it as well? The creativity deep down, longing to come out and express itself? I for sure do and I think we all have it inside of us but we might be scared to fail(?).

Beside the painting I also loved the Danish pendant designed in 1958, the 'PH Artichoke'. Today considered to be a classical masterpiece made by Poul Henningsen. I´m sure you´ve seen it and enjoyed it a lot of times before!?
Last but not least, the classical Eames chairs, never seems to be be wrong, do they?

What do you think?

I would love to hear your thoughts!
