"Sólo
quiero que mis obras alegren el corazón e inunden de luz los ojos y el alma."
(I only want my
works to lighten the heart and flood the eyes and soul with light.)
This lovely quote
expresses the artistic desire of the Catalan artist Joaquim Mir. In 2009, I visited the exhibition Joaquim Mir. Anthology 1873-1940 at the
Bilbao Fine Arts Museum and was instantly charmed with his canvases. Mir has a way of painting that seems
effortless, as the colors melt and mix into one another. The exhibition in Bilbao was
unforgettable, as Mir’s many magnificent paintings truly lightened my heart and
flooded me with warm light.
