At 96, Carmen Herrera the Cuban painter, is... dare i say it?... old in the tooth, yet her work still oozes a youth and contemporary edge which has enabled her to fit perfectly within the art elite.
Her work is a milestone in geometric, minimalist artwork and she still remains one of the leaders of the densely packed abstract expressionalists of the modern day.
I've always been intrigued by her images hence why i'm showcasing this post on her. I really think it reflects my aesthetic and the way I design as an individual and how her work has inspired many of my own.
It seems i'm not the only one who is inspired by Carmen. Spanish designer, Narciso Rodriguez recentley showcased his resort 2012 collection, where abstract geometric prints became the core of the collection.
