This post is my creative blueprint for 2024! I’m diving into the key elements that inspired me during my recent art-filled exploration. From Klimt's shimmering gold leaf and transparent fabrics to vivid skin tones and bold brushstrokes, I’m gearing up to weave these influences into my own work. I’ll also be playing with abstract clothing, emotional depth, and unconventional colors. This is my personal art roadmap for the year—an exciting journey I’m ready to embark on once the move to the U.S. is complete!

On Day 3 of my Vienna adventure, we immersed ourselves in Klimt's legacy at the Wein Museum and Albertina. Highlights included Klimt’s "Pallas Athena," his "Portrait of Emilie Floge," and the stunning "Nuda Veritas." We also explored intriguing works by other artists and visited places where Klimt lived. Finally, the Albertina Museum offered a captivating blend of Picasso, Monet, and Eva Beresin's thought-provoking pieces. A perfect end to an inspiring Klimt-filled trip!
