Colección: The Eight Cats Also Eight Flowers, Selected By Claire Barliant (online exhibition)

About the exhibition

I chose these art works because they make me feel happy and inspired. I think if I owned any one of these pieces, and looked at it once a day, my heart would feel full. All of these motivate me to be creative and make things. My thanks to the artists for their wonderful work.
