Each friday we meet together in order to paint/draw direct from model. We do not only enjoy drawing but do enjoy being together and chat, and laugh and discuss art, life and gossip.

Odette, leí tu comentario chez Frk. Igual que tú, no uso la fotografía para pintar. Es un placer enorme tener un modelo delante e intentar comprenderlo, entender la luz, la forma.
Coincidimos en eso.

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...

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.
