Hola!

Finished new painting for another local exhibition through Artworks Oakville. I've been absent for a while... my parents visited from Mexico... it was so much fun... and there has been a lot on my mind in regards to what is important in this life and in regards to my art and where I want to go with it. I've been telling myself that there is no point in trying to appear as professional - well known - artist to myself. I got long ways to work for it. I gotta make it my night dreams, my breakfast, my free time, my lover my everything and live it, and stop trying to figure out how to make it work in this world... cause it is so damn confussing!

I asked my husband the other day what would he regret not doing if he died tomorrow... and I asked myself the same question... and the only thing that kept nagging at me was: All the paintings that I've got in my head and that I haven't paited yet... ( and traveling)

So, I realized, this is me, I just gotta let it flow and be more honest with myself.

This is "Camila"

My last 4 weeks contributions to the Dreamo Teamo.

1.- My private eyes (fish eyes)

2.- Birth defect.

The Astronomer

Yay!! Finally mi piece is ready. And I managed to take pictures of my process along the way. It is kind of cool, it is like being on a diet and taking pictures of yourself along the way and being able to see your progress.

During this whole process I kept visiting my favourite artist as of now: Joe Vaux. Just a glimpse of his work makes me so pumped to paint.

El Astronomo

Al fin! Mi pieza esta lista! Tambien tome fotos a lo largo del proceso. Esta chido por que es como ponerse a dieta, estarse tomando fotos y ver como vas cambiando a lo largo del tiempo.

Durante todo el proceso estuve visitando uno de mis pintores favoritos del momento: Joe Vaux. Solo una miradita a sus pinturas me contagia de ganas para pintar y pintar.

Graphic designer Tom Wild has invited me to participate in his project LUCIDITY which is a collection of 100 pieces of work from 100 designers, photographers, illustrators and sculptors, inspired by DREAMS

This is a sneak peak of the skecth from which I will be developing my final.

What a great vehicle for an artist are DREAMS, it is the ultimate place where images are not limited by any filters.

El disenador grafico Tom Wild me ha invitado a participar en su proyecto: LUCIDITY que consta de una coleccion de 100 piezas hechas por 100 artistas diferentes, entre ellos fotografos, ilustradores, disenadores y escultores inspirado por el tema de los suenos.

Este sketch es de donde estare desarrollando mi ilustracion final.

 

Que vehiculo tan maravilloso son los SUENOS para un artista, donde las imagenes no pueden ser limitadas por filtro alguno.

My night tea and my holy little hand working in a little secret project of mine......

The call for entries was based on the phrase: "Life and power are scattered with all its beams" by Daniel Webster. My piece is titled: "A Geometric study of Life and Power" because indeed, this is the most geometric I've gotten so far.

El tema de esta entrada se basa en la frase de Daniel Webster que dice: La vida y el poder se esparsen con todos sus rayos. Mhh, creo que podria ser una manera adecuada de traducirlo. Es dificil tratar de estar escribiendo en ingles y espanol al mismo tiempo. Mi pieza se llama "Un estudio geometrico de la vida y el poder" por que en realidad es lo mas cercano a usar figuras geometricas que he hecho en una de mis piezas.
