a beautiful 1930 Art Deco’ architecture considered one of the finest examples in United States, salvaged and restored from neglect and decay it is a symbol of history and Art preservation for the City of Los Angeles. The theatre is located inside the green-turquoise Pellissier Building you can read more about the interesting history here.
My photo shows details of the stunning and dramatic element featured on the ceiling overlooking the box-office at the entrance. I love the angle I was able to capture and the lighting in contrast with the dark shade creating a beautiful effect of “chiaroscuro” it seems almost a monochrome. I love this photo and I hope you do to!
In June 2015 I had the privilege to attend a great concert in this beautiful venue, you can read my post “A Magical Evening of Guitars”. It was a wonderful experience for me as an artist to see the beauty of this historical theatre. The more I was looking around the more I felt I was back in time. As soon I walked inside the magnificent decorated oval-shaped lobby, I was imagining how many shows have been hosted in such great place during the 1930s and 40s until our days, all the amazing artists that have performed there. I could visualize all the people walking around the lobby wearing their fancy hats and fashionable outfits of that era. The ceilings inside are amazing and all decorated with beautiful elements, over the walls there are shapes of beautiful flowers artistically painted. One of the most striking element of the interior design is a huge sunburst placed on the ceiling of the auditorium, each ray is created as its own Art Deco skyscraper. I was there attending a modern Rock Concert having the feeling to be in an old-fashioned historical venue, where I was back in time and into the modern era at the same time, it was amazing! I felt a great vibe. My native country is Italy, I grow up surrounded by the most amazing Art and architecture hundred and hundred of years of Art history are still alive throughout the magnificent buildings, sculptures, paintings on almost every city in Italy because it is very important to preserve and salvage our Art. I am glad that The Wiltern Theatre is an example of preservation here in US and for sure it is a place to visit in Los Angeles if you interested in Art and Architecture and nonetheless a great vibe-filled and intimate venue for great concerts.
I hope that you enjoyed my photography and this post!
There is any special Art-preserved place in your city?

Crystals
translucent surface
of an inner energy
powerful light
radiating rays of depth
in the history of nature
sun reflection and donation
of universal love
for the humanity to hold
a cosmic revelation
sometimes unknown
like puzzle pieces to find
within our soul
awareness will come
with perception and feelings
love is power
light will shine

Over the Hills
Looking over the hills
I lose my sight in the beautiful horizon
the immensity of Mother’s nature
that I cannot hold
brings me back and lost
in memories of beautiful places
so dear and
so far away
called home.

“I dedicate my song ‘Star’ to Emmanuelle and Carolina and their dogs Eden and Mojo who died recently. I hope they become friends in heaven whatever this is“.
EWIAN
<3 <3 <3
Yesterday Ewian surprised me with this beautiful dedication that he posted on Twitter…
Thank you Ewian for such great act of kindness! My heart also goes to Emmanuelle.
Mojo was and is my wonderful and unforgettable Star She was already here when I moved from Italy to California she has been my rays of sunshine through the good time and the bad times she was very special and I loved her very much. Mojo left this world on November 2nd 2014 she was 16 years old.
That day was one of the saddest, when I left the vet office it was raining but after 30 minutes that Mojo left this world something superior happened a beautiful sign from above a beautiful full “Double Rainbow” appeared in the sky
I guess was Mojo way to tell us that she passed the rainbow bridge and that she was ok and happy…. <3

Point Dume is a promontory on the coast of Malibu, California that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The point, a long bluff, forms the northern end of the Santa Monica Bay. Wikipedia

I designed this necklace for Erika Kind as token of our friendship. If you followed our recent posts you know that we met (read my post) in person last Friday here in California it was a great experience. Each piece of Jewelry I design has a story behind it. This one symbolize the beginning of our friendship relate to one of our first conversations that we had when we met, and it was about how much Erika love California, the Ocean and the Beach she said that she love “Point Dume” which happen to be a wonderful place in Malibu where I go often and I love to take beautiful photos like this one of the beach where Point Dume promontory is. This is one of the places where I find precious natural elements like fragments of fossil seashells, stones, driftwood all elements gifted from nature that I treasure and collect for my unique jewelry designs.

The necklace created for Erika has all the elements to symbolize what she love, it represent the Ocean with the natural beauty of a fragment of a Fossil Seashell, a Pearl and her favorite Turquoise stone, the blue color of the stone symbolize the sky and the ocean water, all the elements are wired together creating a keepsake memories pendant with an adjustable leather cord. This is an example of the concept I work with, to create one of a kind Jewelry. I am very happy that Erika love the necklace very much at the point that when I gave to her she got emotional, that was my greatest gift to see the reaction she had it means I made it through her heart giving her happiness and joy…this is one of the reason why I love my work!


It is very nice to see Erika wearing this necklace knowing that she will treasure it!
I also created for this meet up occasion some new stackable bracelets, the kind that more you have the better is!
I created one for Marissa, one for Corinne and a new one for Me!

This one was created for Corinne made with natural Blue Quartz and Yellow Citrine Crystal.
Corinne has already a necklace that I previously made for her and this bracelet is a matching!

The Pink Quartz bracelet was created for Marissa made with natural Rose Quartz and smocky Crystals.
Rose Quartz is also known as the “Love Stone” and emit positive and protective energy.
