Miroir Noir @ Bellavista

El último encuentro de trabajo de Miroir Noir. Se ha dicho que fue en El Rancho Bellavista, Tamaulipas, Mexico... // Miroir Noir last working meeting a Bellavista, Tarragona, Spain. It has been said it happened in El Rancho Bellavista, Tamaulipas, Mexico...

                      

Bromeando en FB acerca de que Tarragona se pareciese tanto al arquetipo europeo de México, dijimos que habíamos estado en una residencia, patrocinados por Tequila El Jimador, y muchos de nuestros amigos nos han estado preguntando acerca de nuestro viaje mexicano. El poder de desinformación en internet!! Haced clic en imágenes para ver el álbum completo del día 'del tonto de abril' @ FB. Durante estas semanas estuvimos pintando juntos algunos pequeños paisajes al aire libre aunque sobretodo en el taller que montamos en el patio trasero de casa. Ya han sido enviados a nuestro estudio principal en Bratislava para acabarlos y barnizarlos, abajo una pequeña muestra de mini fotos de trabajo. // We joked on FB about Tarragona being so similar to Mexico, we stated that we'd been on a residence there, sponsored by Tequila El Jimador. So many of our friends asked about our mexican trip. The power of internet misinformation. Click images to see full April's fool day album @ FB.We were painting some small-sized open-air landscapes for the first time together. They have been already sent to our main studio in Bratislava to be finished and varnished, but here's a small view. As always this are still working pictures.

They look more like Massachussets than Tarragona, but, hey ho, we're Miroir NOIR.

StyleNoChaser Mag Interview

Una entrevista como las de antes, que te hacen intentar explicar los mecanismos subyacentes al acto creativo, y un poco recapitular. Para el Magazine de tendencias en NY Style No Chaser // Style No Chaser Magazine says: 
'Spaniard, Rai Escalé is a very moving individual in more ways than one.  His words are sagely calming and subtly scolding at the same time.  He understands human nature perfectly but also does not believe that we are powerless in changing innate behavioral traits.  He believes that art could literally calm the world down.  Rai depends on a fluctuating process of going in and out of his own psyche to uncover, recover and reveal images that cause his audience look and look again.  Rai knows that his process and creations are unpredictable and could cause gallery owners/collectors some hesitancy, but he is also aware that an artist has to be expressively truthful.  Rai’s words teach us in a non-condemnatory way that a simple life that takes loved ones, nature and travel very seriously is a good life.  And when you add the creation of truthful and beautiful art to the mix, it is like you have Heaven on Earth.'
