This week has had a theme of bloody good travel quotes, so we thought we’d add one of our favourites to our photo of the week. We took this picture of the artist Selaron in Rio when interviewing him for our blog If I had a Superpower. True to his artistic temperament, after five questions, he turned away and declared “I am painting now”, and that was that. If you’re ever in Santa Teresa in Rio, don’t miss his spectacular steps, covered in tiles from around the world.
We are Victoria and Steve, a writer/yoga teacher and filmmaker from London, who decided to start living the life we want to rather than the life we thought we should.

The word quest has been niggling at me for some time now. Before we left, I was delighted with it....
I love this; the photo almost looks like a painting itself. Amazing colour and texture
Took the words right off my lips, Hannah. Brilliant photo, that man is boss!

Thanks both. He really was an excellent man. There are some photos and an interview on our If I had a Superpower blog. The steps he created are incredible.
