"SOME" years ago...

Mexico City, 1992


London, 2009

After meeting Pablo, I realized how many years have passed! And I looked into my files to see if I have another pic of him. I found the first one, which is from December 1992, Pablo is the small kid that is in front of me...
SOME years have passed since then! Now Pablo (the tall guy from left) is an incredible young man :)

I like very much the first pic I posted here. I look radiant there because although I didn't know yet I was already pregnant with my second child.
Pregnant women have a sparkling sight. One of my friends noticed that I was pregnant because of my eyes! I remember I couldn't believe her, I told her, it's not possible, my baby is only 6 months old...I cannot be pregnant. But she insisted and I made the test, and indeed I was pregnant!

Después de encontrarme con Pablo, me dí cuenta cuántos años han pasado desde entonces! Así que busqué en mis archivos y encontré otra foto de el. Sí, encontré la primera, que es de Diciembre del 92, Pablo es el niño pequeño que está frente a mi...
ALGUNOS años han pasado desde entonces! Ahora Pablo (el chico alto de la izquierda) es un sorprendente joven :)

Me gusta muchísimo la primera foto que puse aquí. Me veo radiante porque aunque en ese entonces yo aún no lo sabía estaba ya embarazada de mi segundo hijo.
Las mujeres encintas tienen una mirada centelleante. Una de mis amigas notó que estaba embarazada solo por mi mirada! Recuerdo que no le creía, le decía, pero no es posible mi primer bebé apenas tiene 6 meses... Pero ella insistió y me hice la prueba, y sí, estaba embarazada!

Gracias Zbelnu... puede que sí, pues la mirada de un pintor es diferente, no? Mis hijos siempre se burlan de mi por eso, je, je, dicen que "como" con los ojos :)))

pero también es verdad que las mujeres embarazadas tienen una luz particular, no?
Y de lo del pacto...no creas, sí que hay diferencias, lo que sí admito es que hace unos años cuando pensé que el peso de los años se me vendría encima a pesar de mi genética, pues descubrí el yoga y eso me ha mantenido :))) sobretodo lo más importante es invisible para los ojos :) y es la paz que me da ... pues en otro tiempo si no pudiera pintar sería uno de los personajes de Almodovar en mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios!

Tú Odette como bonita mujer que eres no desdices en nada a la que fuiste, eres bella y tienes constantemente la mirada de embarazada, esa mirada de los soñadores y poetas y escritores y filósofos y gente de lo misterioso, no te eches tierra encima mujer que pareces una estatua clásica y seguirás no con la piedra sino con tus carnes dando mucho que hablar con tu cuerpo y con tu obra, Y no me quiero poner en plan adulador pero ahora que no me escucha mi novia te lo digo, y felicidades para tus hijos y familia y para ti también, como no, un beso fuerte a todos de Vicent y hasta otro artículo y foto de tu obra.

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 ...
