arepas sin reposo

Raíz, nombre y camino Ser como ellos Los sueños y las pesadillas están hechos de los mismos materiales, pero esta pesadilla dice ser nuestro único sueño permitido: un modelo de desarrollo que desprecia la vida y adora las cosas. Eduardo Galeano Souvenirs de Caracas y las ollas reventaban de tanto latir de disparos, pero noContinue reading “arepas sin reposo”

muck in hero² in muck

Everyone is someone’s hero. I like the idea of focusing on it. Trying to imagine what kind of hero is hiding and seeking in the lovely, ugly, beautiful, disgusting sentient being considered, imagined, as a ‘hero for someone’, maybe also for oneself, is generally a challenging part when ordinary life stinks of ordinariness. NotContinue reading “muck in hero² in muck”

Des montagnes (se) sont plantées.

Le gardien des terres brûlées… au travail. De l’agriculture, un peu de Jacques Brel chantant ‘Ne me quitte pas’, des couches et des couches de peinture. Un visage de paysan estompé par le temps des changements, changé en oiseau, en berge, en aile de papillon, en rouge, en noir, en feu, en cendres,Continue reading “Des montagnes (se) sont plantées.”

Au bord… il y a ‘toi’.

Conversations au-dessus d’une falaise est un peu de méduse, un peu de silence, et une falaise. Des choix. Quelques plumes perdues et une blessure dans différents plans superposés, traversé par un courant d’air frais, une brise de conversation. Finalement… ‘On peut vivre sans musique, sans philosophie, sans joie et sans amour. Mais, pas si bien.’Continue reading “Au bord… il y a ‘toi’.”

Carpe diem

Ex Nihilo Nihil was first called ‘Eclosion’, in reference to blooming flowers and dreams. The flowers ended up being carnivorous traps and the dreams never came true. That’s how the painting got its new name, an extra layer of paint and more (red) flowers – that haven’t been carnivorous traps yet, thankfully. Continue reading “Carpe diem”

‘Angel’, ‘Devil’ is also a concept.

Palenque des pendus comes from many sources. ‘Strange Fruit’ by Billie Holiday, palenque songs, pictures of bullfighting – I never saw an actual bullfight and have no intention to go to see one during this life – inspired some of the movements that were expressed in black, red, blue, white. Slavery, inequality, discrimination (in the exclusiveContinue reading “‘Angel’, ‘Devil’ is also a concept.”

Dressed-up hearts (too many)

This painting comes from a poem, a few words about emotions and remedies I can’t remember now, and some human landscapes lost in mind. Here goes the poem: O que nós vemos das cousas são as cousas What we see of things are the things. Why would we see one thing when another thing isContinue reading “Dressed-up hearts (too many)”
