Morandi Style
Inspired by Italian Artist Giorgio Morandi
Italian Inspired
Where did we get our inspiration from? It all started when Claire fell in love with the still life painting by famous Italian Artist Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964). In his paintings, the subjects are simple objects that could be easily seen in our kitchen, such as cups, plates and bottles. He doesn’t hide the brush strokes, on the contrary, he enhances them, giving the paintings natural textures. Morandi’s work showed the world that art doesn’t have to be loud. There is art in the ordinary, in our everyday life.
