COMEBACK

 As you may have noticed, the blog has been quite empty for several months, the main reason being the large amount of work from school, keeping me away from The Golden Cell. I regret (and apologise) not keeping up to date and informing about the art world's latest news, like the death of Antoni Tàpies, the great Spanish artist who defied the meaning of painting with his mystical use of mud and metal on canvases; or the discovery in the Prado of a copy of the Gioconda, dating from the same period and executed by one of Da Vinci's most advanced pupil, showing what it might've looked like in its younger years. 
 But now, with the advent of summer and the holidays, I hope the blog will re-open and re-start a new season of cultural and artistic illumination.
