Her favorite lemon tree - POST 5

 

                                                 Today I will tell you about my favorite photo.

She is my grandmother, her name is Maria Elena Coindreau Ramirez.

When i was in the last year of school for a art Project I had to took a series of photographs  referring to the inability to see.

My grandmother is blind, and taking this particular photograph took a long time, but it reflects her completely, she is in the backyard of her house, in La Florida, where I always spent most of my time, this space means a lot for both of us, this is our meeting place since I was a baby.

Her life and history has been a great example to follow during my growth and in this photograph her action was immortalized,  that action means a lot to her, since it is her only moment with nature.

During one of my infinite lunch trips after going to school, on a very cold day, we took this photo, she prepared herself very early, and made her feel very special and beautiful.

 for that and for all that her figure means  to me and the action of been able to took a lemon for her favorite tree, this  is my favorite photograph.

the benefit of living in community - BLOG 7

  When I decided to study art, one of my main doubts was how it would be possible to carry out the social work that I think is essential in all areas.   Immediately I could understand that in my opinion it is the kindest area when generating these collaborative spaces that involve the community, although there are many paths in art, which in the mostly   the artists are the protagonists. In my creative process I hope to be able to integrate myself into community spaces, where I can deliver and be part of a collective to contribute to the community an everyone who is part. I sincerely believe that art contemplates all areas and has a language that is available to everyone, dynamic, horizontal and friendly, which can be use to create social awareness, report bad practices, make visible actions and stories and most importantly, create union and resistance in the population. For this reason, I believe that art is essential to make important changes in the world, which t...

Silvio Rodriguez's Concert - POST 2 (Inglés IV)

Imagen
Well, my concert's experience are very limitate because it is very expensive in our country (like everything), but the concert that I remember with more affection and joy it’s Silvio Rodriguez concert in october 2018. It was held in Movistar arena and I went with my dad for his 56 birthday, he’s our favorite artist so I gave him one ticket for the concert. It was a very special day to me because it was the first time I saw Silvio Rodriguez live and it was with my dad so it was a very exciting day for both of us. My dad and I share a lot of common tastes, he teach me to always have social conscience   and never forget our family history and were I come from   so that’s why Silvio Rodriguez is a very important artist for us. He’s able to transmit the injustices of the world with a lot of serenity and beautiful songs. Silvio Rodriguez transports you to the streets of La Habana with his songs, a place that me and my dad love   deeply.

The world of textiles - BLOG 8

  During the pandemic it has been difficult for me to have a favorite subject, because   the difficulty of taking art classes and its particularity of being a more face-to-face and technical career. But the subject that I liked the most and that has managed to interest me, and I can carry out a complete investigation that in turn has been very motivating for me is the complementary textile workshop. In classes we have seen the many ways to fabrics   dye   with natural and artificial elements, from knowing their components to carrying out your own experimentation. It has been very interesting and at the same time a very simple practice to do at home, without expensive materials and is a   very friendly techniques for the environment. Then we begin with the lacing processes, when they explain how to braid with different techniques. I really enjoy this subject, it also involves millenary practices, where you can freely experiment and also get involved with th...
