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: 2. Italy Collection
This collection has a special place in my heart - well of course it should - I'm Italian and it's my home. Growing up with so much culture and history surrounding me is what started my passion for art and architecture. I think it also fueled my appreciation and desire to explore other countries - I realized that with so much beauty in my backyard - there must be much much more out there in the world.
Some of my first driftwood art pieces were of Italy - they are long sold but still remain as some of my favorite pieces. Now whenever i return for a visit - I seem to be aware of architectural details that I was previously blind to. I also see how centuries ago Italian builders influence other countries - it's all very interesting.
