I went to Barcelona by train from Nice in December, 2025. It was a nice ride with a few “funny” moments. Right off the train staton, I could feel the vibe of this gorgeous city while walking all the way to my hotel which was a block away from Passeig de Gracia. After checking in, went right out to have a walk and went to Palau de la Musica Catalana because it was one of the reasons why I went to Barcelona actually. I had to see it with my own eyes. I have seen the outside and then booked a ticket to visit the inside for the next morning. As I entered to the Palau early on Friday morning, I felt speechless right away. Every corner was impressive. The style, the details, the quality… Then I walked into the auditorium and saw how glorious it is in real. I sat in one seat on the ground floor and tried to feel the environment. After just sitting there for a long time, went upstairs to see the other parts. I also sat on the upper floor, right where BatVader is sitting in the painting, to have another perspective. I can say that it felt unreal and couldn’t believe I was living that moment. Afterwards, went to the Palau’s cafe to have breakfast. As I was eating, decided to watch an event at the Palau and booked a ticket for a flamenco show on Sunday evening. Watching that show there was also fantastic. I can clearly say that the times I’ve spent there were the highlight of my trip and I hope I can do it again. See you, Barcelona. You were amazing and I’m grateful to live these moments.

As every kid, I liked to draw and make some things. I took elective art classes at middle-high school besides the mandatory ones. 4 years of elective ceramics class and one semester of textiles. Other than the art classes, I can say that my notebooks were full of different drawings and patterns, mostly with cars. :) I had a long period without doing art but I always had the curiosity how those exceptional art works are created. Talent? Determination? Practice? I was impressed every time I saw an art piece. Seeing all those art pieces from centuries ago felt quite impressive. At the back of my mind, I always had the question whether I could do something similar. A few of my friends told me just to give it a try and I did. In my case, creating art is the only possibility to leave something behind which can extend my life and even the lifetime of humanity. 300 years from now, someone, somewhere on this planet might look at something I've enjoyed making in my life and say, "This is an Erdem Bilgin piece. I like it." Obviously I will not feel this but my paintings will.
