© Sean Hayes: House of Horta


Victor Horta (1861–1947) was a Belgian architect and designer. He is one of the most important names in Art Nouveau architecture; the construction of his Hôtel Tassel (2014-25-01) in Brussels in 1892-93 means that he is sometimes credited as the first to introduce the style to architecture from the decorative arts.

His house and studio (construction started in 1898; completed in 1901) in Brussels, Belgium is a splendid Art Nouveau heritage.




Living in Brussels, artist and former architect Paul Dmoch was born in Warsaw in 1958. He works with watercolor.

« Even as a child, I remember being obsessed with light. On sleepless nights in my room, I would watch the movement of car lights reflecting from the wall to the ceiling and back. Years later, I was astonished when I saw Rembrandt's use of light for the first time. I remarked, This is the LIGHT



Montréal looks like Venice in this Paul Dmoch watercolor today.
