I am not Art savvy. My “expertise” is limited to a freshman Intro to Art class, an unhealthy obsession with the Met when I lived in New York and my own dabblings in photography. All I know is that I like what I like and I like love Cesar Santos’ work.
I was scrolling through Tumblr and came across his work on Cave to Canvas, where he was being featured as the artist of the day.
What struck me most about these paintings is how much they looked like photo-collages (my obsession for the last few months as you know)!! I was sold.
The Cuban American’s work is described as the marriage of classical and modern elements – syncretism. I think this makes his beautiful work just that more interesting.

It’s that time again and the Apartment Therapy Small Cool Contest is underway. Being a student for the foreseeable future means that I am stuck renting and need to make use of every square inch of space in my apartment, granted my Miami apartment is larger than the New York one was. Apartment Therapy is awesome for finding ideas on what to do with the tinyest spaces but the Small Cool contest is really where the all stars come out and you get to see some of the most creative and beautiful design ideas for small spaces.
These are my favorites so far:
John’s sunlit Studio
Caitlin’s Treetop Dreams
Amy’s Bit of Hollywood History
Mary’s Maximized & Multifunctional
Jacqueline’s Streamlined Stuff
Julia’s Solo Artist Space
Juan’s City Cottage
Hollyanne’s Home For Three
