When we say we heart our collectors, we mean it! To celebrate our appreciation during this month of love, we’re thrilled to spotlight one such art lover: the winner of this winter’s giveaway contest, Hector Soto. He dazzled us with his placement of Carrie Marrill’s Lagomorph (I mean, look at how it is the centerpiece of his crisp, cheerful space!), and we thought we’d ask him to share a little bit about his relationship to the art and collecting in general.
p.s. To everyone who submitted, THANK YOU! It was ever so special to see 20x200 pieces in your homes—and to read your notes about the importance of living with 20x200 art. That's truly why we do this. Keep an eye out for the next giveaway contest!
What drew you to Carrie Marill's Lagomorph?
A sense of peace, while maintaining vibrancy and colors, conveys the feeling that “something good will happen next”, all while depicting a tranquil scene.
What makes you want to bring a piece of art into your home?
(To) make the space I share with my family and friends as comfortable as possible, including aesthetically pleasing elements and showing that I care.
What is the first piece of art you remember acquiring, and how did it make you feel?
Handmade dolls from Brazil captured a piece of our experience there. They are very delicate and expressive, just like the kind and patient people we met during our visit as foreigners. It made me feel as if I could bring a bit of their culture back with us.
