I'm sorry for being inactive for a pretty long time now, but i'm after my finals and i have to kinda prepare for test at the university i'm applying so i believe i'll post some things more related to that, more architecture and sculpture. Artist who i should know but i don't.

Igor Mitoraj (1944- ) Polish sculpture born in Germany, working in Italy and France.

Alhambra

Today I've got for you a little collection of photos of Alhambra, which is a palace and fortress complex in Granada, Spain. Built as a fortress in 889 and then converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.

Although the building might seem not really attractive, the details are an incredible work of art.

All photos found on google and wikipedia.org
