2016

During the year 2016, my life had a lot of events that changed my life as entering to the university had different repercussions on my daily routine (some positive and some negatives). If you asked me what I liked of 2016 I immediately think of the people i had the pleasure to meet different people that became my friends and also I started learning more each day. Still there are some things that I disliked, first of all and the most important, losing a great part of my free time, but in some cases that time studying or drawing for workshop was really fun.

2016 was a year full of activities I had the chance to travelled outside the country to Mexico and Peru and I also travelled to Valparaiso with my workshop. So I did a lot of walking this year!!! I had the chance to restart giving some time to my hobbies, drawing and taking pictures. It was really great to use my hobbies as a tool for my classes. Even though it sounds like all my life goes around architecture I also had the chance to watched different tv programs and movies, I started the program Mr. Robot and The Get Down and I saw many movies in the cinema, but I wasn't so impress or touched by one. Also, I was able to go to two concerts Coldplay, that was really amazing, specially because of the colors and how cheerful they were. The other was Disclosure, that was a great techno party, but the thing is they mix up some songs using instruments. I also was amazed by the release of the new albums of Radiohead and Red hot chilli peppers, it sounds funny what a mix of music I listen to hahah.

2016 was a great year, still I am looking forwards to 2017, as I will be able to organize better my time giving me the possibility to enjoy more my free time.

A One-on-One Conversation

Thinking of just one person that I would like to have a one-on-one conversation, is quite a challenge as there as so many writers and artist that I would love to meet, but if I have to choose I would go for Basquiat. He is one of my favorite artist. He started doing some graffiti in NY as “SAMO” that is a short name for “the same old sh*t”, but then he jumped to paintings. He is considered as a neo-expressionist artist and was really close to Andy Warhol, which help him a lot to become more famous. Unfortunately he died due a drug addiction that lead him to an overdoses that kill him.

I still remember the first time I heard of Jean- Michel Basquiat, it was thanks to my father. He told me he had the chance to see his complete work in an exhibition in a travel, that was really amazing, but as I didn’t knew I decided to look him over, and I just loved it. There I found a movie based on his life story that show me more about him (You can watch it on Youtube). So if I could talk to him I would ask him to teach me how to do graffiti or paintings, also I´ll ask him to show me the places he visited and what inspired him, ask him about his favorites things and the things he hate. I found so interesting how he started in the street and now a days he has his paintings hanging in them MoMA with works that seems so extravagant or in some cases as doodles. For me Basquiat is one of the greatest artist in the modern art, so I would choose him, also because he looks really like a funny guy (and he has the best hair in all the history of art)
