I'm frequently inspired by the nature and this picture gave me an idea of painting pattern of an elephant's skin. 
Even though the first thing I enjoyed on this photograph was a cute baby elephant, the skin of a grown elephant behind it was visually very interesting with such a nice flow of lines.
I applied line painting on two tone background, red and brown, and created accents with grey and white paint after to bring the 3 dimensional feel of it.
Would you know what inspired me if I wouldn't tell you?

Magnolia is one of my favourite flowers. I live in the city and every spring I'm on magnolia watch. I walk around and just take them all in. 
Magnolias give me sense of a new beginning, a promise of a fresh start, just like a spring is to a nature when everything comes back to life after a winter slumber.
There are many magnolia trees in my neighbourhood and I really enjoy all of them but there is one specific tree, a quite big one, that has huge pink flowers. When it blooms it looks gorgeous!
Sometimes I just like standing under it and then for a moment I feel like I'm in haven.

Do you pay attention to trees and flowers or you just rush to and from work without ever noticing them?
Take a moment... if only for a few seconds and experience them. 

BELITUDO can paint your shoes with this magnolia experience for spring.

The part of my creative process is "feeding" my eyes. I spend a lot of time just looking at images on Internet, specially Pintrest, which has been a constant source of ideas for me.  
This design is called Snail and yes... it was inspired by the snail and can be customized to your shoes.
In some cases ideas come quickly in some it takes a while but in each situation the process is joyful and seeing my designs painted on shoes, ready to be worn, is truly gratifying. 
Beauty is all around us and my most frequent inspiration is the nature. 
This snail is something I've never seen before, it's absolutely beautiful. I can appreciate it's intricate pattern and colour combination. 

Please let me know if you like this snail inspired design.
