Ether

-


I received an email where my gallerist in Kilkenny wrote me that "Ether" was sold to a woman in Dublin... This is the first time that I was not very happy, there are some paintings that are very special for me, like April 6, but in this case the painting was acquired by a very good friend of mine and I do enjoy that she owns it.
Deep in me I had the illusion that Ether was going back to me, I wanted to show it in Kilkenny because I do love that painting, it was one of those paintings that was made in very little time (less than an hour), it just flowed out of me and at the end I was surprised to look at it, as if somebody else has painted it instead of me... but it was also a part of me and it was strange looking at it...

Well, the painting will be in Dublin, a city that I love, a city where part of me comes from.... maybe it is good that ETHER is now in Dublin, maybe it is the best place for it...

I have therefore changed my homepage... Ether is the gate to open it....

E il racconto che tu hai scritto: Principe Azurro 3 é davvero geniale!
Mi ricorda molto la sperienza che io ho avuto con il mio (ex) amico virtuale, la amicizia solo poteva darsi nella virtualitá...

¿En menos de una hora? ¿éso es bueno o malo? ¿te llegó "la Musa"? Me gusta, aunque me parece "raro" con respecto a tus anteriores obras. Creo que este año has creado de manera "diferente", aunque no sé cómo explicarlo...
P.D. I am not in the mood of speaking/writing English today...

Los cuadros: "LA", "EL Camino" y "Nadihelli" fueron hechos en verdad poco tiempo, pero esos cuadros fueron hechos directamente del modelo y ellos constataron el tiempo.
En el caso de "Ether", el cuadro fue pintado en mi estudio, estando yo sola...fue un instante para mi, pero muchas veces el tiempo ha sido relativo, hay instantes que sé que no lo fueron porque entré con el sol a pintar y salí con la luna... pero con Ether era de día cuando salí...

Having only just read your comments on how unhappy you were for 'Ether' to be sold, I would like you to know that I am the Dublin Woman who bought this beautiful painting. I saw this painting in the windown of The Blackbird Gallery and it took my breath away! I tried all day to convince myself that I could not afford this painting and indeed in reality I couldn't but I had to give in to it's beauty and artistry and purchase it as strangely, I felt a connection to it almost immediately!. So although 'Ether' did not go home to you,be happy that she came home with me to Dublin and will be well looked after and admired for many many years. Thank you for painting her!

Michel Rojkind and Victor Legorreta at the RA

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. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. 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 ...
