NoKtambu-LA: MIAMi & Gallery WAlk

Miami stole a little piece of my heart ..

I think I left it somewhere in the downtown area

I was in Miami for a long 2 weeks I get to hang out at the beach with my friends & meet some amazing people, we Made it to the Gallery Walk they have the 2nd Saturday of every month So Next time you plan your trip to miami make sure is on the 2nd week of the month and make sure you go to The Gallery walk ( @ The design/ gallery area) A really fun & artsy side of Miami i feel most people miss out on! oh and the AFTER PARTY! really a great place to be!

I want to say thank you to some of the Artist I got to hang out with Which you def should check out their work

& also Thanks to My PRimos for having me over & Gio for putting up Nulala

Enjoy some fotos

This last two were some of my favorite work..

Santiago's work has all the sexuality and darkness any artist wants, its disturbing yet so captivating. It has movement and color, and I love the fact that its so phallic and painful, so abstract but completely anatomically correct. I also love his smaller pieces and the fact that he is not afraid to paint sex and to challenge religion.

Rafa's work is brilliant! so bright! you cant imagine how he got those layers of paint on top of each other without blending or having the colors bleed on each other, without having even the smallest bit look muddy. All the colors are so bright all over the canvas, I gotta admit the Aqua series is not my favorite of his work his technique and level of skill is worth being jealous of.

My favorite of his work is the Woman series, I think its more erotic, more honest.
