me encantan, como siempre, las aguadas, sobretodo las 2 primeras, aunque la primera me parece haberla viso antes, sera una pose muy comun quiza. el segundo oleo me parece un poco un autorretrato, y del primero me gusto mucho el fondo, los colores.

saludos!

Nor,

Gracias por tus comentarios colega. Sí, mi meta es hacer un día óleos de la simplicidad que tienen mis acuarelas... espero lograrlo :)))

Y sí, desde que pintaba el segundo óleo noté un cierto parecido conmigo además lo que sugiere que está haciendo la figura.... ahora que soy una mujer sola :(

Y hablando de parecidos, mi óleo con fondo rojo me hace pensar mucho en ti. Karla desde que lo vió me lo dijo, pues quizás no se note en la foto pero los ojos son grises :)))

Nor,

Verdad? Sí cliqueas en el cuadro lo amplificas y los ojos definitvamente son tu :)))

Esa Karla! No había visto mi último cuadro y también cuando lo vió me dijo: "pero si eres tu mami!, solo que más flaca"... sniff!

Ja, ja, ja... esos parecidos en mis pinturas sí que han dado que hablar. Pero es cierto desde que pintaba el díptico rojo Karla me dijo se parece mucho a Norma! Y ya entiendo porque a Luis le gustó tanto el segundo óleo y me dijo que era muy sensual, después me confesó que ese cuadro le recordaba yo :)))

Gracias Martiny y Nefer por sus comentarios, me alientan a seguir pintando.

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...

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 ...
