Inspiration -
Alvaro Castagnet is an artist I even follow now. In many of my posts, I have talked about him. He was one of my inspirations when I worked with watercolors. His variance and variety always mesmerized my soul and kept me in a daze. Without knowing time flew and I started to like more of his paintings. I feel that he creates his own world, where I can sit idly and take a break and breath fresh air. His paintings always drew me closer to a world I wanted to live in. Although, we are well aware, that his paintings are imitations of real-life scenarios, yet I feel more inclined towards these than on the real ones. I hope you like my imitation. This is a throwback to 2017.
