Where did the dreams we once had go to? (The Way - 02/2024)

Where did innocence, madness, and recklessness disappear to?

Where did time vanish?

I dream of happiness, I dream of stopping time, I dream of slowing it down and catching it.

I dream of going back and (not) making the mistakes I once made.

I dream of regaining innocence, of losing fear. I dream of returning to spontaneity and forgetting prudence.

Reviewing the list of my dreams, I realize how happy I was and I am, despite things not unfolding as imagined.

There is a nostalgia about the past, about the innocence I had 20 years ago, when I believe everything was possible.

What do dreams smell like?

Some time ago, my dreams were superficial; over the years, I eliminat what’s unnecessary and distance myself from the herd, I stop worrying about fitting in.

As I eliminate superficial dreams, I stop caring what others think of me.

I no longer seek to fit in, I no longer seek to be like others, I only seek to be myself, I return to my essence.

I peel away the superficial layer of my dreams to fit in, to be accepted in society. I begin to listen for a voice that is deep within me and start doing what I really want without trying to prove anything to anyone, without wanting to fit in where I don't belong, and I begin to be free, just as everything falls into place.

Monsters who live in my mind (Traces 11/2022)

Monsters who live in my mind is a project that talks about living consciously in the present because I do not know what the future holds.

In this project, I look into self-knowledge and transformación along the way I have already walked and what remains to be done. It talks about enjoying the journey and the process as well as cultivating patience and hope.

Life is a cycle, a series of phases, up and down. Life is to learn how to navigate in the middle of a storm, pass through the dark and arrive at the light.

Each experience with Andrea and Gabriel is like a sharp descent into hell to molt a skin, complete a cycle and come back to a surface of luminous intensity.

We were working during an intense astrological period, we were under the influence of two eclipses and two powerful full moons that invited us to a catharsis. During those weeks it was so important to be aware of the present moment and, at the same time, to be patient and wait for the right moment to continue walking.

Creative process doesn’t have rules, as an artist I have to adjust to its cycles and respect them, be patient and give space to magic.

To be continued.

Revista de alta gama para soñar: Conversaciones contigo (Traces - 07/2021)

Can I call you? 

I don't know what is real and what is not.

Those days at your home were so happy, it smelled of Heno de Pravia's perfume and I learned to type.

- Don’t be afraid to be different, don't give up on your dreams, go after them. Get out of the gang, leave the herd, following them won't make you happy. Listen to your heart, live your life. Don’t listen to those who criticize you, they are afraid, they are conformists, you remind them of  what they are not capable of doing, don't let fear paralyze you.

I would like to be a child again, just for a little while, I would like to come back to your home and eat your cannelloni. Why is life so unfair?

Appearances are deceiving and sometimes the wounds of the soul are more painful than those of the blood.

We have to respect the time of the nature, but quite often humans think they are clever and they are in a hurry and make mistakes.

Everything that is different has to be criticised, that's how this society works. You always said something like that to me when I was a child and I didn't understand it.

I don't want to complain, I just tell you my things, but these days are quite strange and first the dark comes out because it’s heavier and then the light will arrive because it is lighter. I don't know where I'm going, I don't know the end, but I'm curious, I have to trust. Life is like a wheel, like a wave, it goes up and down, now we are at the bottom, but step by step I will go up again, the light is my goal. I imagine myself swimming towards the surface like a fish looking for the rays of the sun in the ocean. Life is like art, like all this I'm telling you, I don't know where I'm going, but at some point it will all make sense, just like all the pieces of a puzzle fit together.
