Elena Merlina - Paint The World Tour
Paint The World Tour
Hi there - my name is Elena, an Italian Artist sailing the globe. Join me on my Paint the World Tour to discover how I'm using driftwood to showcase my travels
MessageCollection: 3. Portugal Collection
Portugal has a special place in my heart. I've visited briefly a many years back - but only recently have I really come to appreciate it. Now that we have our boat in the Mediterranean I have the opportunity to visit as often as I like and it is beginning to It feel like my second home.
My appreciation of Portuguese architecture started in SE Asia a number of years back. The Portuguese played a significant role there in the past, and cities like Penang, Malaysia have many buildings from those times. The combination and use of color I think is what attracts me so much to their buildings, also the country's culture is very much oriented around it's coasts and the ocean - definitely my style.
We hope to spend the winter of 2022-23 somewhere in Portugal - so look for my growing collection from there.
