Keeps getting better all the time:

         I am doing  an internship at the Saatchi Gallery, and I am in love with my job. I have met the most amazing people in the gallery and I feel very inspired to try new things. In the internship I got to do a research about 3 artists and a guided tour that in the end I will have the chance to present to the public.
          I couldn't´t be happier: my days have been filled up with trips to the local library, a lot of books and quick lunches in the food market that happens in Sloane Square every Saturday. Yes, the job can be a bit dull sometimes: when we have to stand all day on the floor making sure people don´t touch the artworks, but even then there's always the chance to talk with visitors about art, learn about their own passions and discuss interesting things. I am very determined to study next year in the Courtauld Institute of Art, I have booked now my open day  and I couldn´t be more exited!

          I have been taking my time to discover more things about London, watch amazing films and visit old vintage stores. I bought in the gallery A Rough Guide to Vintage London, and I have been delighting myself with great tea-rooms, old jewelry shops and crazy hairdressing salons, which I want to share with everybody after finishing the The Second Sex? - series.
  
          I met in the gallery Justyna Maluchinik,  she is a very creative and inspirational artist/photographer with whom I might have the chance to work with in January. Her tumblr it's truly original and shows  great variety and diversity. You will find in her recent pictures a focus on colour and shape, that reflects the youthful and vibrant London life. It is worth to take a look at her tumbler account http://justynamaluchnik.tumblr.com/.  I promise you will be spellbound by some of her early works  that explore and reflect on the relationship between the human body and nature.
           I hope your week is going as good as mine and I would like to hear from your experiences and thoughts. All the best :)
