mucha love for mucha

In our home there are several Mucha postcards and pictures placed around, women shown in strength and beauty is a real favourite thing of mine. I love portraits and beautiful old photographs showing the elegence of a bygone era. Mucha has always been of interest to me, his work seemed to sing to me in the way that only really great art can. The flow and majesty of flowers and leaves, the ethereal look and his ability to make everything look ornate just enthralls me. I once owned a Mucha mirror which i treasured, i purchased it when i was around 19 and it moved with me until one day it smashed, a small piece of my heart was shattered like those shards of glass. I absolutely adored that mirror, I have looked for another but sadly it isn't to be. Maybe i am never meant to recreate that moment in time but when i owned it it was magical.
