An art gallery feels like a small world within the larger world of art. Works created at different times, by different artists, each carrying their own stories and perspectives, come together in one space to create a new world - one that is beautiful, intriguing, surprising, and open to exploration. Marbella is home to Metamorphose Gallery, @metamorphose_gallery a space filled with light, elegance, and contemporary art that gently awakens curiosity and invites you to look a little longer. I also had the pleasure of talking with the gallery’s owner, Anastasia. The way she speaks about art is both passionate and welcoming, making it feel accessible rather than intimidating. It was a lovely reminder that art doesn’t ask us to know everything, it invites us to be curious. During the opening of the new exhibition, Miradas (“Gazes”), I found myself lingering over the details: the textures, the colors, the brushstrokes, and especially the eyes looking back from many of the paintings. Every artwork seemed to invite a quiet conversation, asking each visitor a slightly different question. Over the years, I’ve spoken with people from many different cultures, and one thought comes up surprisingly often: “I’d love to understand art better, but I don’t know where to start.” Or, “I’m afraid I won’t understand what I’m looking at.” If you’ve ever felt that way, perhaps start with a gallery rather than a museum. Galleries feel more intimate and approachable. Walk around slowly. Spend a little longer with the pieces that catch your attention. There doesn’t have to be a “right” interpretation or a hidden meaning you’re expected to discover. Sometimes, simply allowing yourself to be curious is enough. And perhaps that’s where the real conversation with art begins. If you’re in Marbella this summer, Miradas is on view at Metamorphose Gallery from 1 July to 1 September 2026. It is well worth stepping inside to experience a gallery that makes contemporary art feel welcoming, inspiring, and wonderfully human. #artwork #marbella #spain #contemporaryart #malaga

This week I failed my practical driving test in Spain. At first, I thought this was just a story about failing an exam. But over the last few days, I realized it was actually a story about something much bigger. When we moved to Spain, I knew I’d have to deal with paperwork and adapt to a new culture. What I didn’t expect was having to earn back something I already had, a driver’s license. That meant months of studying for a theory exam with what Google says is around 3,500 possible questions, practical driving lessons, exam fees, and a lot of time and money. I even failed the theory exam on my first attempt before finally passing it the second time. Because Spain doesn’t recognize my American driver’s license, I had to go through the entire licensing process again, even though I’d already driven in Mexico, the United States, and Spain using an International Driving Permit. Months of studying. Driving lessons. Exams. Time. Money. And this week... I failed. When you check your result online, the DGT in Spain shows just two words: «No Apto.» Which is translate as Not suitable. For a moment, my brain stopped reading those words as «You didn’t pass today’s exam.» Instead, it heard: «You’re not good enough to drive.” And that’s when I realized... Maybe that’s what starting over feels like. Either you’ve moved to another country, changed careers, started a business, or you’re an artist who’s been rejected by a gallery... At some point, life asks you to prove yourself all over again. But failing one exam... Getting one rejection... Or receiving one «No»... doesn’t change who you are. It only describes one result, on one particular day. So yes... I’ll book another driving test. And I’ll try again. Because I don’t think starting over is a sign that you’ve failed. I think it’s simply part of starting a new chapter in life. #relocation #spain #startingover #motivational #movingabroad

Hotel Claude, quietly tucked away in the heart of Marbella's Old Town, holds within its walls the charm of a bygone era while offering all the comforts of a contemporary boutique hotel, creating a place where history continues to be lived. Photographing its interiors was an absolute pleasure. Light pours into the spaces from different angles throughout the day, gently revealing centuries-old columns and arches that have stood here for generations, while carefully selected interior details harmoniously complement the story of the building, adding a new layer to its identity without taking anything away from its past. What I found especially beautiful was this delicate balance between history and modernity, thoughtfully protected and nurtured by the team behind the hotel, allowing the building to remain authentic while feeling warm, elegant, and effortlessly inviting. @hotelclaudemarbella Spending a holiday here is a truly unique experience. Each room has its own individual design, inspired by one of the Andalusian provinces, giving every space its own distinct personality and allowing guests to experience a different interpretation of southern Spain through design, color, and atmosphere. #interiordesigninspiration #interiordesignideas #spain #travel #interiordesignphotography

Spent the evening at the opening of a contemporary art exhibition at Fusion Málaga Art Gallery. @thefusionartgallery One of the things I enjoy most about contemporary art is that it invites interpretation rather than giving answers. Every piece tells a different story depending on who’s looking at it. A lovely evening filled with creativity, conversation, and plenty of inspiration. #spain #malaga #artexhibitions #art #travel

Croissants, baguettes, macarons, flowers, soulful Bordeaux wine, bicycles and beautiful streets - all of this is, of course, wonderful. But when the blazing sun and exhausting heat fog your brain, you stop noticing even the most beautiful things around you. You only have enough energy to find a spot in the shade, a bar with air conditioning, or at least a fan, and wait until your curiosity returns. Paris is beautiful. No matter what people say about the snobbishness of the locals (and yes, we met some of those too), the city inspires you with its architecture, grandeur, and sculptures. Walking its streets, I realized that *joie de vivre* is real. It's a way of living where you can enjoy life and still work, make plans, achieve goals, casually flirt, drink light wine, and have long conversations about the smallest details of life. Somehow, the French have managed to make all of that coexist. My husband and I came to Paris as tourists. These days, social media keeps telling us to experience places "like a local," as if being a tourist is somehow not enough. I used to chase that idea too, until I asked myself: how can you be a local if it's your first time in a city? You can't. To truly know a place, you have to live there. To understand Paris, you need time. You need to slow down. Maybe drink a little Bordeaux, talk to real French people, and let yourself fall into the rhythm of *joie de vivre*. Ironically, what I remember most isn't just the Eiffel Tower or the museums. It's escaping the heat, breakfasts with our Airbnb host Paul, conversations in broken French and English, and realizing that sometimes Google Translate works better than pronunciation. Paris didn't teach me how to travel like a local. It reminded me that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a tourist. Sometimes, being present is enough. #parís #parisfrance #travel #relocation #summerday

No matter what people say about the snobbishness of the locals (and yes, we met some of those too), the city inspires you with its architecture, grandeur, and sculptures. Walking its streets, I realized that *joie de vivre* is real. It's a way of living where you can enjoy life and still work, make plans, achieve goals, casually flirt, drink light wine, and have long conversations about the smallest details of life. Somehow, the French have managed to make all of that coexist. My husband and I came to Paris as tourists. These days, social media keeps telling us to experience places "like a local," as if being a tourist is somehow not enough. I used to chase that idea too, until I asked myself: how can you be a local if it's your first time in a city? You can't. To truly know a place, you have to live there. To understand Paris, you need time. You need to slow down. Maybe drink a little Bordeaux, talk to real French people, and let yourself fall into the rhythm of *joie de vivre*. Ironically, what I remember most isn't just the Eiffel Tower or the museums. It's escaping the heat, breakfasts with our Airbnb host Paul, conversations in broken French and English, and realizing that sometimes Google Translate works better than pronunciation. Paris didn't teach me how to travel like a local. It reminded me that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a tourist. Sometimes, being present is enough. #parís #parisfrance #travel #relocation #summerday
Croissants, baguettes, macarons, flowers, soulful Bordeaux wine, bicycles and beautiful streets - all of this is, of course, wonderful.
