St. George Greek Orthodox Basilica.
Looking at this mosaic from St. George Greek Orthodox Basilica in Madaba can only inspire a deep desire to stay home and make love to art.
The Es Baluard
The modern museum Es Baluard in Palma de Mallorca is definitely a must visit in this island. This upside down house welcomes you before you step your feet into the front yard of the museum. You might fancy the Picasso Ceramics but Têtes de Sardines (1999) by Miquel Barceló is my favourite in this museum. Têtes de Sardines belongs to the Duality selection from five artists whom are connected to Mallorca. This mixed media on large size canvas caught my attention as if the dead Sardines were real minus the stinks. I do not know if in the future we will have such artworks that give the scent to complement the visual but would it not be nicer? These are sculptures from the famous Llorenç Ginard. You would notice and might as well relate to the extra meat on the belly, no? Sometimes I think people should not call themselves artist unless they can sculpt.
