Dear Flickr people who still visit this account: The dream came true. The exhibition of my dreams has been launched and the new video has been screened in the place I always wanted to exhibit.
I intended to start posting about THBP exhibition on Flickr, but haven't quite gotten into it. There's been lots of things happening. Basically, you're missing all the news :{ So please, feel free to head over here.

Queridos amigos de Flickr que todavía visitan esta cuenta: El sueño se convirtió en realidad.
La exposición de mis sueños fue inaugurada. El nuevo video fue proyectado en el lugar donde siempre había querido exponer.
Tenía la intención de empezar a subir contenido de la exposición a Flickr, pero no lo he logrado por razones varias. Han pasado muchas cosas. Básicamente, se lo están perdiendo todo :{ Así que a los interesados, los invito a seguirme por aquí.

If you once followed me on Flickr, this image might ring a bell for you...or not. It's part of a small series of paintings revisiting the very first photographs I took when I arrived in France, 3 and a half years ago.

Very soon I'll be leaving Europe to return to my country. I posted a sort of "good bye" letter on my blog, reflecting on all the good things that happened to me (personally and professionally) while living here. Along with that I posted the complete painting series. Check it out.

This is my latest addition to the 2nd Volume of The Holy Beauty Project. I wrote some stuff about it on my blog if you want to read.
Btw, we're on the 3rd painting already, which means there are 2 more you probably haven't seen...and there are more to come. Plus a video. No pressure, but if you want to be up to date, follow these links: one, two, three. wink_wink.

Special Delivery

Please...Take a look to what's inside ;) (-below-) and more drawings in the comments!
...
I felt like adding another drawing to the project. In case you're wondering, I blended the original photo (which I daren't publish) into the drawing (which I didn't trace directly on the pic) with some PS work.

So I found these fancy enveloppes in my place that hadn't been used, and I thought they were perfect for this special occasion**

ATTENTION: Please don't take today's text too seriously. Remember: I'm always looking forward to hearing from you! And I'd certainly love to hear your opinions.

Happy nothing's day :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**
"Today's a great day because there's nothing to celebrate or commemorate. Nothing to be thankful for, no need to ask anyone for forgiveness. No one's birth or death to remember by telling the story to our children with sympathetic exaggeration. No martyrs born on this date. No independence wars won X years ago.

I don't care if Imran Khan was born and Elaine Esposito dyed on this date, nor that Alfred Nobel patented dynamite and Pittsburgh was founded the 25th November. Don't come to me saying today's Bosnia and Herzegovina national day, Suriname's Independence commemorative day, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, or International Men's Day in Canada. Nobody told me earlier and none of these special occasions were stated on the news these week. To me, it's like they never happened.

That's why I'm sending you a little gift in special delivery to commemorate nothing. This is my greeting card for you, who loves nonsense hollow days with no special meaning and hates traditional hollow celebrations like Christmas and Valentine's Day. Hoping you enjoy my gesture, I'm looking forward to not hearing from you too soon."

I know some of you have already seen this painting, but I wanted to make it a part of the project. Later on I’m going to upload the first paintings I’ve done in France :)

I also wanted to share with you that this week I’m opening my online print shop!!!
You’ll be able to purchase prints of some of my paintings and photos :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"As you wake up, something seems to have finally surpassed the sadness this morning. You have not slept or eaten much in several days but, even though you may not notice, an alien lucidity is taking over. Today you will look at your unbearable pain for the two hundredth time and find new shadows and lines, for you are standing on the outside now. Events appear as stories told by third party foreigners, strip comics by dead or nonexistent people. Grief seems to be gone, but just because it's right there under your own feet.

After going through dark hell for so many days, looking as if it would never reach an end, it's good to remember… Everything ends, love and pain, indifference and boredom, extreme happiness, money and success, sickness and fear, kisses and laughter, grief and solitude, they all END, even if with the arrival of death. So don't panic, don't celebrate. Whatever it is, it's not going to last. You won't stay within the frame forever.

Looking at pain from a higher place satisfies you in a bitter strange way, as it sends you into this peaceful, gloomy and somewhat cynical state. You wonder if this is how freedom feels like: not needing any hope anymore. Idiot, you say to yourself, it was about to happen."

--------------------------------
"I like to do things more than once. I love the taste of food the second time. And I prefer the second kiss to the first one. Actually, I'm not into first times of anything.
I'm a cook in a large hotel kitchen; and I'm second chef below Chef Fred. After he has finished preparing his best plates I get to try them before they're taken to the costumers. I try them twice. It's necessary. At first they all seem perfect to me. On the contrary, when I try them for the second time, I uncover all Chef Fred's mistakes. We speak in private and then he does a little magic, so the plates can be taken to the people who ordered them. They always end up satisfied and happy.
I can touch whatever I want from the kitchen, except for a red pepper which Chef Fred brought back from one of his long trips to Middle East. He keeps it on the top of a shelf. Actually, he told me he had stolen it from a large garden whose name he couldn't remember. As tempting as it looks, I don't touch it. We call it the "Forbidden vegetable" as a joke.
Anyway, the other day I arrived at work and Chef Fred seemed in a hurry. He said, "I'll be gone all day. You'll be in charge of the kitchen until I return."
I couldn't believe it. I had the whole kitchen to myself. Obviously, I began to wonder what was so special about the red pepper on the shelf. I couldn't help it; I had to know how it tasted. So I gave it a small bite. I know I shouldn't have, but I wasn't thinking. And this was a terrible mistake.
My life gave a terrible turn: I started to feel, see, and sense everything as if it was the first time. Of course, Chef Fred expelled me from his kitchen forever. Now I live in this pathetic and sad little world, all original and new. I have no job and I lost the pleasure of the second time. Damn you, forbidden red pepper."
