Mer Dreier by her own word

How I work or why?

Mer Dreier

Is the desire enough to justify what I do? I know just that in the absence of this need for creation, of this logic of creation, it does not matter how it is named, I am dissatisfied, anxious. Also my step is the transposition of this desire to give to see what appears to me. The medium by which these feelings forward imports me less than the shown thing.Mer Dreier lives and works in France(Various mediums: acryls, techniques of drawing, photographs, creations digital)Graduate of Paris I Pantheon-SorbonneTeach the visual arts in collegeExhibitions of painted works

Brazil series - Welcome to Rio de Janeiro!!

By Anna Avalanche, Gisa Miles, Luiz Speedwell and Rodrigo Bastos



This is my recent article for déjà vu magazine. Hope you all enjoy, and if you do, please leave a comment.

This is my first article about Brazil, for the series “Welcome to Visit Brazil”. Every month I intend to show, with the help of some friends, a different Brazil city or region and the most beautiful places in the world.




Brazil is very big, almost a continent, and has a big tourism industry, doesn’t have conflicts since 1870 (Paraguayan War) nor natural disasters (hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, tornadoes), the people is friendly, warm, and very affable with visitors. I will initiate this article with the most notorious Brazil city of course.




Rio de Janeiro ("River of January", in English), is the second major city of Brazil, behind São Paulo. The city is capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro. It was the capital of Brazil for almost two centuries—from 1763 to 1822 while it was a Portuguese colony and from 1822 to 1960 as an independent nation. Rio was the only colony city in the world that was a capital of an Empire - the Portuguese Empire from 1808 to 1821. The Brazilian independence was peaceful because of those circumstances.

Kwon as the marvelous city, Rio de Janeiro has attractive that give it an enormous international fame.

The city is owner of a unique natural beauty. The contrast between the sea with mountains and the old with the contemporary become it irresistible. The weather in Rio de Janeiro is always very agreeable and the city doesn’t depend on seasons of the year to attract visitants. Its attractions can be appreciated at any time of the year.

The richness of its history and the contagious fun of its residents have contributed to its image as a very special destination. There are Majestic monuments, natural parks, splendid belvederes, historical buildings, glamorous beaches and more.

Who has never heard about carnival in Rio? Or about Sugar Loaf Mountain and the statue of Christ Redeemer? Or about the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, that have inspired musicians from all over the world?

Some of the most famous local landmarks in addition to the beaches include the giant statue of Jesus, known as Christ the Redeemer ('Cristo Redentor') atop Corcovado Mountain, which has recently been named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

The Maracanã stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums.



Rio also boasts the two world's largest forests inside an urban area. The first is the forest in Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca, or White Stone State Park. The second, almost connected to the first, is the famous Floresta da Tijuca, or 'Tijuca Forest'.



Rio de Janeiro has too a lot of cultural attractions. Furthermore, Réveillon and Carnaval its two major festivals, there are always something new happening in Rio - exhibitions, dance, music shows and sporting events.

Sennaspirit Coronet Opening, by Lucille Morigi

Senna is one of the greatest artists in secondlife.

Always seeking different angles and effects to reach the public with his work, he finally decided to exhibit some of his pictures taken in second life.

I am so proud to be not only one of his friends but also to be part of the exhibition, since one of the portraits he took of me is there now to be seen by everyone.

We have talked some other day about art. I told him that the artist can't control what people will feel with the art. He added: can provoque, not control.

I agreed.

Senna is an artist, not only a photographer.

Above all, he is a great human being.

Take a look if you are art lovers like me.

Sternberg

Sternberg, originally uploaded by Wildstar Beaumont.

I like to walk the linden roads on the mainland continents and to discover new places. And among ad farms and abandoned clubs sometimes one can find true jewels of beauty

Yesterday I found Sternsberg: a Swiss/German village spanning two sims in the Southern Continent. It is on the fjords that make their way into the land from the Korean canal, which divide the two arms of the continent and I must say that being on sea always makes a difference.

It is clear that this region has been build with passion and love: there are clubs, shops, tourist office, galleries. A stunning castle that is the replica of a RL German castle dominates the view

The most outstanding feature though is a state of the art public transportation system made of air-taxis, a network of boats taking from one landmark to the other, and a running subway: really awesome.
