A Beautiful World Full of Color StoryBooked

After losing his construction company in the recession, Felix Semper was looking for a new way forward. He discovered a love for the art of paper sculpting. His travels led him on a mission to reconnect with his roots and family history in Northern Spain. The faces of the people he encountered along the way inspired his latest piece, “Olibondoa,” which means olive tree in Spanish. Felix says, “We live in a beautiful world full of color and when we travel, we learn to see things in a different way.”

Art has the power to create a universal language that can connect us in unforeseen ways. We followed four artists around the world in search of inspiration and experiences to fuel their creative passions. Powered by our loyalty programs, each artist embarked on a personal journey to destinations like Japan, Italy, Spain and Peru. Their stories illustrate a shared human experience and bridge our differences to create a common universal language through art.
