My little tribute to Frida Kahlo : Viva la Frida !!! Viva la Vida !!!

La Catrina

" I recommend her to you to you ,not as a husband but an enthusiastic admirer of her work, acid and tender, hard as steel and delicate and fine as a butterfly's wing, loveable as beautiful smile and profound and cruel as the bitterness of life ."

-Diego Rivera to an American critic, 1938

"... Su obra es ácida, tierna y dura como el acero. Fina como el ala de una mariposa y cruel como la amargura de la vida...

Verán yo no creo que ninguna mujer haya plasmado jamás tan angustiosa poesía en un lienzo. "

-Diego Rivera

Pausa

PAUSA

De vez en cuando

hay que hacer una pausa

contemplarse a sí mismo

sin la fruición cotidiana

examinar el pasado

rubro por rubro

etapa por etapa

baldosa por baldosa

y no llorarse las mentiras

sino cantarse las verdades.

- Mario Benedetti

Imagine

" What if you slept,

And what if,

in your sleep

you dreamed ?

And what if,

in your dream,

you went to heaven

and there plucked

a strange and beautiful flower ?

And what if,

when you awoke,

you had the flower

in your hand ?

What then ? "

Infinito Series

" Ver el Universo en un Grano de Arena y el Paraíso en una Flor :

atrapar el Infinito en la palma de la mano y la Eternidad en una hora ."

" To see a World in a Grain of Sand and a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in an hour. "

-William Blake

Otoño Series

"....Aquella hoja que vaga por las calles soy yo buscándote a ti ..."

Cada poesía ,cada canción nos inspira una pintura y " Aquella nube" de Gulliard ,me inspiro esta serie.

Al Encuentro ....

" La alegría y el amor, son dos alas para volar muy alto".

- Goethe
