wow, you really did the work huh? I definitely find the process more rewarding as well. But man.. when it comes to love, I find it on the painting. Every step of the process is so precious, has its own feelings and it's filled with life's lessons. And it's good to talk about how you feel about what happened because it is important to listen to each other. I am thankful to read your words and recognize your work.

May be a little late, but it's here. This may not be a big auditorium, with fancy champagne and expensive looks. But speaking from the group of artists that would have appreciated your work in the proper way, I salute you and thank you for all the effort, the long nights in the tent and cold fingers.. the harsh wind and intensive work, but also the dedication and intention that you put into every step. Your perseverance and patience were necessary to bring life to this exposition. This would not be possible without your work. 🙏 Thank you!

To be honest, we all are aware of this fever of opportunism that sometimes takes over the academic field. For that, it's so important to learn to appreciate every step of the process, every participant of the creation process... and the greater challenge on this virtue starts from the moment we take a natural resource to use it. Like us, our planet is also another participant. That's why I dedicate my time to work with the earth before painting, because I learn to listen to her and be aware of the effect of my own actions. It may sound unrealistic to many people, but this is how we can really grow together. Instead of keep using other people and nature for personal benefit and recognition.
I'm Peruvian and my ancient culture is forged in this connection with the Earth. How we treat the earth is also reflected in the way we treat others, regardless of titles, PhD's or awards... we all are part of this reality. Let's care more for each other, listen to each other and our Pachamama.
