Kilkenny Arts Festival

-









Kilkenny is a fairy tale city... I am transported to another time when I walk through those alleys full of history:

Jacobean constructions, medieval bridges, castles, flowers on the Nore River.
The festival started yesterday, one of my paintings was sold a day before the festival started, and yesterday 3 more paintings were sold. The Gallery is tiny, as a medieval city all the streets are narrow and twisted. I love to see my paintings at the window gallery.

Wow! Congratulations, my dear. Looks like you are having a great success... and also a very good time! Has any publication or critic written about your paintings and/or in general about your work? What about the rest of the art works showed at the Festival? Are you posting some of them?

Yes Darth a little one in the local newspaper, where it says that the international Irish Mexican Artist will have a show at The Blackbird Gallery :)))
Today it is supposed that a reporter will come by to make me a formal interview...let's see...
Today I am also going to start my tour through Ireland, first I will visit the Viking town of Waterford, then Cork, Dingle, Galway... finally I will be looking for my Irish roots in Dublin as well :)

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more.

Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
