Happy Accidents: Andrew Osta on His Art

During the day, I seem to sense the chaos of all the people doing their day to day tasks, and it's difficult to concentrate on painting. At night, I tend to enter a zone where everything just flows smoothly, much more quickly.

Dos Búhos Winery and the Orange Wine

When the wine is already fermented, ready to drink, it is poured into ceramic vases and buried, letting it ferment in a different way underground, aging it there for up to three years.
Sofie Engström von Alten

ART -
I allow my subconscious to take over so that the work may transform me beyond the mundane and predictable... I open my senses to the experience and emotionally consent to a poetic and thrilling adventure.
- Ezshwan Winding

FOOD -
On a bed of fried sweet and baby potatoes plus portabellos come two fried eggs and salad greens plus a topping of shaved parmesan, seeds, pesto, grilled tomatoes and, for a few pesos more, a couple of strips of crispy bacon.

FASHION -
The love of work, when we find it, work which is done through our hands with noble materials, such as wool and cotton, transmits all its power of transformation to the useful things we make, that are beautiful in their simplicity.

HEALTH -
"You have been spending too much time traveling in the stars. You need to spend more time receiving healing and grounding from Mother Earth."
