Hi everyone
In this time I'm going to talk about one of my favourite artist. He is Christian Boltanski.

Boltanski was born in París the 6th of September of 1944, and luckily still alive. He left the school at 13 years old, because he wanted paint. Christian is an autodidact artist, that develops his work in the field of the installation.


Boltanski works principally with the memory and memories. He collects daily objects
of the people who have died, like an intent of fight against the oblivion. The use of the light is an importan aspect in the work of the Boltanski. He use the ligth for create an ambient, in some cases a nostalgic ambient and other times a tetric ambient.

I like so much the Boltanski's work, because he not leave nothing to the luck, all in her work is planned, until the minimum detail. He is able to generate an aura in all that he makes. When one see her work, inmediately remembers someone that now not is between we.The daily life in the Boltanski's work plays an important part, it is the way the artist approaches the art viewer. Making use to the daily objects, he manages unite the art and the life.

Here I leave the video of one of my favorite works of Boltanski: "Migrants", an installation made in Buenos Aires a few years ago
