Mariska Karto is a fine art photographer, born in Suriname and raised in the Netherlands. She began fine art photography of her in 2010 with the need to express her inner world. Mariska draws primarily from the old world, bringing a revival of baroque-style painting to her work. However, instead of painting, the artist uses her camera to create sensual and feminine images that echo the charming period of the Renaissance. Artist Mariska Karto on Instagram.

Robert Delaunay, Homage to Bleriot, 1914

  • The circular shapes are evocative of the circular shapes a propeller makes; serves as a homage to modern technology 
  • Captures the hustle and bustle of modern cities like Paris
  • Delaunay was actually one of the first to fly over Paris in an airplane 
  • Uses bright colors and circular shapes, straying away from the straight lines and neutral colors of the Cubists and Futurists; he wants to make visible his personal experience of the city.
