First Day

-

When I first arrived to Cill Rialaig I was frightened. The cottages are at the end of the world. It was very difficult to arrive there, because it was midnight, most of the signals were in gaelic and I couldn't see almost nothing because it was such a foggy day. I saw no soul around... and I asked myself if I could be able to be there alone for 6 weeks... so this is the first painting I made there...

------------------------

Cuando recién llegué a Cill Rialaig estaba atemorizada. Las cabañas están en el fin del mundo. Fue muy dificil llegar allá, porque era medianoche, casi todas las señalizaciones estaban en gaélico y casi no podía ver nada por la niebla. No parecía haber un alma ahí...y me pregunté a mi misma si sería capaz de estar ahí sola por 6 semanas... así que éste fue el primer cuadro que pinté.

Muy bueno. Después de mostrar las obras de la naturaleza por fin llegó la hora de tus obras de arte.
Un beso y gracias por compartir lo tuyo.

esa incertidumbre del principio quizá se pueda adivinar en la figura que aún no nos muestra su rostro,

pero debes de sentirte muy orgullosa de esta experiencia intensa y liberadora, de haberla vivido tan bien

Esta pintura la veo como el coqueteo femenino en los preludios del amor, yo la titularía eso coqueteo. Aunque la mejor es la de la foto del post More Kerry pics... te lo puedo asegurar, sin desdecir en nada la maravilla que expresa esta pintura, que es del todo desenvuelta, sensual, ingenua, alegre, un poco como toda tu pintura a parte de un cierto toque de "lugar" desde donde se encuentran las modelos si es que las utilizas, quiero decir, las mujeres que son o hay detrás de las pinturas, yo veo tu desnudo femenino como el coqueteo ingenuo y sensual de dos niños bajo una lluvia de canción Moon River. O algo así, no sé nada de pintura aunque tengo un par de cuadros muy simples psicoanalíticos. Bien te dejo y prometo pese a la falta de tiempo pasarme por tu blog próximamente. Vicent.

Yo escribi un cuento sobre una artista fotografa en una escuela de arte irlandesa. Pero no eras tu.

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 ...
