I actually had no idea I just found this beautiful strange piece on the beach and also I came across a piece of paper that I saw and thought it was very interesting and decided to put them together. You can look at it and decide for yourself what it could mean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestion: so what were your thoughts at the time when you put these two together what was on your mind and why did it become the way it is now?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI named these strangers because they are so different from each other. There’s no rhyme or reason that they should appear together, but they do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs it something familiar to you and you do find these on the beach or in the street or come with up with these freeform?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo, I find things in the street, everywhere and the beach and I have a habit of picking things up if I think they’re interesting but then it turns out not to be not such a bad habit. I can make things out of things that people look at and think they are pieces of garbage, but one can do beautiful things with them. I am not saying that this is a beautiful piece, but it is in an interesting piece and very challenging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Question: Do you think there’s an additional reason you painted this was something going on your life that caused you to have these two completely different objects in the same painting?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI think again the way people are today. They’re so separated by beliefs and I think that it is where I was going with this one. There is no sense of community and it has been disrupted by people’s completely different opinions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Olga Manosalvas - Fine Contemporary Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45828237820065,"sku":null,"price":1695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/6569\/1809\/files\/strangers.jpg?v=1773765718","url":"https:\/\/olgamanosalvas.com\/products\/strangers","provider":"Olga Manosalvas - Fine Contemporary Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
