Butter and honey

my art creations from 2010

Sorry I never really get around to posting my art, its a lot more work than just posting pictures, I have to find the measurements, sometimes think up titles, describe and give explanations..you get the idea, I always keep delaying it...till now I have a bunch of non posted pieces, so they're all gonna have to go together. :) enjoy


"Reflejos de ausencia" (Absence reflections). May 2010. 147 x 172 cm, acrylics painting on canvas.
This is the biggest painting Ive ever done, such a challenge. When I was building the canvas I sat on top of it on the floor and was thrilled that it was so big. I love how mysterious this picture is, gives me the creeps. People stare at it and just dont get it which is why its fascinating. The big structure are mirrors reflecting the landscape.


"Nebulosa de mar" (Sea nebulose). April 2010. 100 x 130,5 cm acrylics painting on canvas. This too can give you the creeps, it has to be looked at at the right distance with the right lighting...then its incredible. PTL


"No more" Watercolor and pastel on 50 x 70 cm board.
the text says "the last golden leave is about to fall, and the last silver tear is about to be shed, and after that...no more"



Sculpture of a lamp. April 2010. This is my second sculpture pieces and I freekin love it... :) its huge and so heavy, I cant hold it, always have to get a couple guys to take it whenever I need to move it around. The making of is way to complicated to explain, but its so groovy to look at it in the dark, and the light it gives and the shadows it creates.


"Fragility" Novemver 2009
I love this.
It says so so much.
It kind of an experiment, and the making of is a secret cause its such a cool idea that if you kew how its done you'd go ahead and do it too, so Im keeping it a business secret. :)



"Stairs to Heaven" 50 x 70 cm acrylics painting on board.
The greatest thing about this painting is the story it has entangled to it. Mesmerizing, stare at it, decipher it.

SPAIN CONQUERS THE WORLD!!!!

summer summer

been a while I'd say!
The air is hectic here with Spain on the finals of the World cup for the first time ever. Would be swell if we win.
excitement
I'll throw in a few pics, and as for an update...
I finished freshman yr and have a few good months of vacation in my hands. I went for a week to the beach, then came back and did a course at the Prado museum on art conservation and um..now I'm painting. Have a big storage of blank canvases to use, and hopefully I can pull out an exhibition sometime this summer.
Ive started this great routine that wakes me up in the morning and keeps me energized for the day despite the summer lows. I get up super early and workout, then take a swim and then come back for breakfast, that wayI've already lived a whole day before everyone else gets up.
its all very useful

United in history

painting for the Army, for a contest.

it shows the strength of the army through the unity of the soldiers throughout its history. you can see the soldiers of past times in b&w and the actual soldiers in color, all of them marching together under the same tempestuous sky.

Holy Land

You would expect a trip like this to change your life.
You would expect something real, a smashing event that changes your whole world.
And then… it didn’t happen, there were no fireworks, no, nothing of the sort. But yet, something did change.
Perhaps I went there to get away from everything else, from the works, the stress, the life, the problems, the people, especially the thoughts…just to get away, to find a bit more of reason in my life, to find strength to go on, to find the truth of what I believe in….to find him, to get if just a tiny bit closer… I don’t know.
It was the day by day, each word that someone said, each place that we visited, each sight that took my breath away, each situation that brought tears to my eyes when I actually thought about where was I really standing on. Everything is so different from what it used to be, from how it once was when Jesus walked around there. There are huge constructions, way too many decorations, too much noise and countless distractions…..2000 years have gone by, and, you can’t expect everything to stay the same as it was. All these things are like a wall standing between you and what you want to perceive. I went to each place and just saw the superficial, the shallow, it could be any other place but it’s a holy place because of the name it has. That doesn’t really tell me anything…there are too many things standing in the way, preventing me to understand, preventing me to feel. I just had to.. to get up and over that wall, to cross the the gap between me and Him. It was the moment that I thought I was actually there, standing where he stood, looking at what he was looking, that I imagined him there, I stood there by his side, I watched as he would cry.
Someone told me during this trip that this wasn’t about feeling things, it is not the point of it, and feeling or the lack thereof shouldn’t be what dictates my faith, my experience. I know. Thank you, for telling me, for being my light during this time. I know I have this need to feel in order to live and to express what I have inside, but I also know, that I need to believe and live without this need. I know that faith is the most beautiful thing I could get, if anything, out of this experience. I hope I took it with me, I hope I didn’t forget it there. I hope.
Perhaps the places didn’t tell me much, it was more the relationship with each person there. It was the long talks, the sharing of thoughts, of experiences, the words exchanged, the laughs. It was the moments we shared all together, it was all of it. Perhaps it could be that I got more out of the conversations I’m taking with me than from the ruins I saw.
Im trying to remember, all that I took with me, all that I’m leaving behind.
If I could list all that I thought….all that I realized while there….the light it has brought to my life… I just wish it never fades away. I know at times though, it will. But if I could engrave something in my mind… it would be “don’t forget in the midst of darkness what you have seen clear in the light”.
I walked around Jerusalem at night…. And magic was all around.
