I chose the piece by David Alfaro Siqueiros as a visual reference because of the colors on the painting – they are calm and organic. My literary reference is Ayn Rand’s book “The Fountainhead” – it is about architecture or mostly about a genius architect and his way of creating buildings. I loved this book, and maybe I understood it in a different way than others, but I found it inspiring. I think everyone, who read this book imagined Roark’s creations differently – I saw them as something that just completes nature rather than competing with it. So I chose this painting because I think these colors were dominant in Howard Roark’s buildings.
