An artist I admire



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 archive and the installation.


Boltanski works principally with the memory and memories. He picks up daily objects of the people who have died, like an intent of fight against the oblivion. 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, with a few things, of to generate an aura in all that he makes. When one see her work, immediately remembers someone that now not is between we. Boltanski makes use of theobjects of the daily life and resignifies them, giving them  an personality.  I think that this is an important aspect in her work and think too that this inspires my own artistic production.


Here I leave the video of one of my favorite works of Boltanski: "Animitas", an installation made in the Desierto de Atacama a few years ago.

A country I would like to visit



Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to tell you about one of countries that I'd like to visit.

The first country that I'd like to visit is Italy. Because I think that's a country packed with history, not just culturally but architecturally and artistically too.

I think that the italian architecture is something really amazing, above all by the time in that were built. Is impressive that a lot of constructions have lasted so long time. I would like so much walking for the italian streets and enjoy seeing the architecture and visiting museums.

 I like a lot the pizza and the pastes, but i don't eat meat, chesse neither eggs and this is a problem at time to lunch. I imagine that in Italy should be easiest find vegan and delicious pizzas, I'd like taste it!

if i had the chance to travel to Italy, i'd like go alone. Because, i think that's an interesting idea consider a trip to a different country, and a different culture just in company of oneself.











I think Italy is a very beautiful place, i'd like to see how the past and the present are mixed in there. The italian architecture is something really amazing, I can't imagine the quality of the materials and the way that the ancient Romans built these huge constructions that prevailed for so many centuries.

I'd like to see a lot of lanscapes, buildings churches and as many museums I can see, cause I was reading that Italy has a over 150 museums. I wish when I travel there I have enough time to see a lot of things and, also I would love to try a lot of pastas and pizzas. Probably I would find more vegan options there than here.
