Marina and Art

  Hola! For today’s post, I would like to discuss one of my favorite buildings.  It is located less than an hour away from my hometown: Elciego, La Rioja, Spain.  This building is a hotel for the Marques de Riscal winery. Currently the Second best wine and vineyard on the world.The hotel lets the wealthy tourists stay at the hotel while they enjoy a visit to the winery, the town, and La Rioja. Hotel Marques de Riscal, Frank O.Ghery, 2006   This breathtaking and gravity challenging structure, is a delight to explore both from outside and from inside.  It has Gehry identity touch, the titanium and steel waves that bend and twist beyond imaginable. The building stands out with its silhouette and the contrast it creates with the medieval village that is located in. The curved lines create a welcoming space for guests and a soft atmosphere that fits quite well the hotel’s mission to provide a relaxed stance. I would also like to point out that with the wooden parts ...

Hola! My name is Marina Gonzalez Mazo, I am a Junior from Spain. I am a student athelte in the rifle team for UAF. I am majoring in a BFA with emphasis on jewelry and digital desing. I am taking this clas as part of my general requirements. I see myself as a designer, not quite confident yet to call myself an artist. I love sculpting as small as I can, usually for jewelry pieces. I draw on digital software and I do grapgic desing. I love goint to museums, I usually pay for the guided visit or the audio version of them. The reason why I took interest in arts is because I wanted to learn and study the artist that is behind the pices. It is a Modernist jewlery piece from Luis Masriera  (Image from Wikipedia) Here is a Link to a contemporary artist that ispires me,  Marina Salazar . Links to an external site.
