Orlan and Leonardo Da Vinci

I consider that she is an excellent and versatile artist, because she has done a lot of art works in different areas with a variety of concepts. I had never listened about her, well… I am not a fan of art .However, I admire her ideology, but I don’t prefer look her paintings and performances because they are very weird for me.

I think her performances are good because they make an impact in the capitalism life, I think her first exhibition about being paid to give kisses was a wonderful way to get attention of the people. It changed the life of Orlan, since that moment she has been doing a lot of strange things. I think performances, exhibitionism and narcissism are good qualities of an artist. I love performances, when I was a school student I made a lot of them. I don’t see anything wrong in that I think is art, because performances get attention and make impact in people. All artworks should make the same.

My favourite paintings are from Leonardo da Vinci. I can’t choose one but I admire the secrets in da Vinci’s drawings. If you look some paintings of him you can realize of details that make the differences between a normal and enigmatic work of art. For example, “Piero della Francesca” (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Piero_della_Francesca_045.jpg) in this art work some people say the clouds are similar to UFOs, I think things like that struck my attention. I’ve never seen the art of da Vinci in a museum but a chemistry teacher showed me a lot of paintings and He said unknown things about Leonardo Da Vinci.
