Dawack/ Mika

So love him or hate him, he's always colourfull. This has been heavily reflected in his album and single artwork. Designed by his fashion designer sister Yasmine who works under the name Dawack the artwork is always colourfull, detailed and representative of the song/ album.

Auguste Rodin

Auguste Rodin (1840- 1917) was a french sculpture.
I find any large form of human sculpture fascinating, especially when its this lifelike. I can't contemplate how it would be created or how difficult it must be. Rodin's sculptures were different than most, rather than be satuesque and posed they were more about emotion and character. One of his most famous pieces (The Kiss) seems so delicate for such a heavy material. Also shown are Eternal Springtime and The Thinker
