It´s All About Art

My friend Kerstin, who is from Hannover, is not really proud of her city,. To the best of my knowledge this is a widespread German feeling. When I visited her, as she was doing her final project at college, I had to spend some time on my own strolling around the place. She pointed me out that I shouldn't expect too much.

Well, maybe because of that, I was positively surprised. Not only because of the Christmas' Market (ohhh my God I was in over 100 Xmas Markets all around the country), but also by the kindness of the people and the beautiful rebuilt city centre.

It was there where I found out about the Nanas and Niki de Saint Phalle. It seems that she was kind of a hippy who lived in Mallorca, but also a model, an artist, a wife and a mother. And very good at shooting paint all around the place, as I have heard.

To tell the truth, when I saw the image on the left I didn't know it was a woman. But I did like it because of the colourful colours in the middle of a grey German day in the month of December. But now that I look at it in more detail it reminds me of myself performing acrobatic movements in Kilkee ( "haciendo el pino vamos"). I was even wearing pyjamas in the same colours!! Ok, well, definitely I must start going to the gym...
