Las Meninas

Las Meninas

Las Meninas, originally uploaded by whitecoquelicot.

I discovered this Valencian-born Spanish artist whose work was displayed on different floors of the Chambord castle. I absolutely loved the contrast of his pop artsy style and the sensuality in his work with the intricate details of the historical building architecture. This particular sculpture is inspired by Diego Velázquez's Las Meninas.

The statues are are great. It must have been hard walking around in those kind of outfits.
