This is a place where you can learn some English while enjoying a wide range of colors, shapes, voices and sounds, found (mainly by chance) in museums, art galleries, art fairs, art biennials, art books, art magazines, on the web or along the way.
Each section is an exercise of language (instructions can be found in 'Tools for practice', at the end of each section).
Feel free to explore randomly, as I randomly keep collecting stuff and inspiration almost everywhere.
This website was created (and keeps growing) on a 13 inch laptop, which is the format I highly recommend to viewers: smaller or bigger screens might alter the layout of the pages as originally meant to be, and therefore decrease the enjoyment of viewing.
The content of this website is intended for non-commercial use.
Each image is a screenshot.
Each screenshot derives either from digital photographs that I have taken with my camera (or cellphone) or from digital pictures that I have found online.
The content of each screenshot is in most cases a work of art.
Each work of art is under the sole ownership of the person who created it, whose name - whenever I was aware of it - has been mentioned (just click on the image to see it), and whose rights are all reserved. The same applies to the audios and to each of their sources.
None of this would have ever come into being without the works and words of the following people:

To credit where credit is due, I might need your help:
- If you see a picture of a work without the name of the person who created it and if you happen to know this name, or
- If you know the title of a work that has not been mentioned and if you happen to know this title, or
- If you are a right owner and are concerned because you have not found your name or you have found material whose use represents a breach of copyright, confidence or data protection,
please send an email to saravirginiabloom@gmail.com or saraboggio@hotmail.com and I will be happy to fill the blank, and grateful.
