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.
