#3rd Entry: Last favorite piece of art founded.

Hello, this time I'm going to talk about the last piece of art that I met and chushed me.
It is a painting by Pieter Brueghel the Old, and it's originally called ''De val van de opstandige engelen'' in dutch or ''Caída de los ángeles Rebeldes'' in spanish.

This painting was made in 1562, and it represent the apocalipsys. For me,most important than the issue, it's the graphic way that he use to represent it. I like Brueghel in general, he was also a gorgeous engraver, he always put a lot of details, disturbing details in his canvas, like Jenorymus Bosh, but he has better sense of humor for me (without play down how   very much I like Bosh). His canvas or etchings are overload and grazing the absurd. Well, this paiting has that too. I like to much the pallet of colours, the dispotition of the figures, and , of course, the figures: the monsters and what are they doing. It's a crazy shit. I relate with this painting in a kitsh way. It's a reference for the composition facts. But it's really important to have in mind that visual art was always a way to say concepts/histories with simbols for communicate with images, so, this painting impressed to me a lot when I sudently bump into it at the Old masters Museum of Brussels. Big, colorful, crazy. Seems current, looks fresh to this times. The freedom to has painted grotesque stuffs in tha medieval era, and tell us the bible with this big imagination.

#2nd Entry: Holidays

Hi, well I choose the second option to write this entry: to talk about my holidays.

I choose this because I fell on vacations since now jjj

The last year I went to Spain because I won the gran of the university to make a exchange. So, I went to study to Barcelona for 6 months and I stayed 3 more months to visit some places in Europe (buy ticket flight's it's cheap and very common there).

* Read the post listening Paco de Lucia. Please press play :)


So, this adventure started the 24th August of 2017 (it was the first time that I took a flight, I used to travel a lot, but making autostop), I arrived to Madrid (absolutely alone) but a friend of a friend of my father lodged me in his departament in Lavapiés. 10 days later I took the train to Barcelona.

Was crazy to be alone, so alone. I mean, I beg you I'm friendly, but this was completely different. I met some people in the university, but the nights were pure nostalgic (almost all the time, when the beers with partners finished).

But was amaizing the cospolitan experience and when the semester was over, I traveled with Rebeca and Daniela, my peruvian friends, and Francesco, which is from Bologna, Italy.

We were in Amsterdam, Vienna and Budapest. Then I continue alone to Venezia, Ferrara and I met Francesco again in Bologna. I really liked Italy so afterward I went to Rome, Nápoli and Pompei. In Spain I visited Sevilla, Granada, Sitges, Girona and Valencia.

I still don't assume that I'm here, so quiet, after being moving so much. I still eclipsed by the museums and the ruins. I saw so many Bosco's :')

I retuned on may, every trip I've had was amaizing. I hope it stays in that way.

#1st entry: Which country would I like to go to?

Hello everybody! for this entry I'll talk about a country which I would like to travel.

It is a quite difficult to choose just one country among all those who I would like to know, so I will talk about one of which I think I'll be visiting soon: Perú.


Perú has generated expectations on me since childhood. Since  I saw the  album cover of  ''Alturas de Macchu Picchu''; when I heard and danced the peruvian huaynos; also since I  read ''La ciudad y los Perros'' and I imagined its streets and walks through these same. But,  this last summer, I met Rebeca and Daniela in Barcelona, two peruvian girls who did an exchange there, just like me. So, now that I have friends there, I want to go to visit them and know everything they recommend me.

Once there I would like go to the beaches and markets to eat a lot of huaicaína, a peruvian sauce that I really love; climb Macchu Pucchu, of course and I'd visit the Lima's oldest cemeteries and art museums.




I heard that in Peru the machoism is worse than here in Chile (and that it's too much to say) but of course I have to see that for myself. I think probably I'd go for a short time, maybe a month, just for visit, but any way I want to generate a connection with the graphic/artist circuits there, every travel it is a laboral opportunity too.
