Piece of Art



I chose for this post an image pinted by Oswaldo Guayasamin. I don't know the exactly name of this piece of art but I know that it belong to an serie of pictures named "La edad de la ternura" or in English: "The age of tenderness", also known as "Mientras viva siempre te recuerdo" (or While I'm alive I will always remember you) and shows live colors and warm images of mothers and her children or in this case a naked woman with closed eyes. I like because she looks so much quiet and it make me feel serene. 
Oswaldo Guayasamin was born in Quito, Ecuador and he has Guarani ancestry. I really like the work of this painter because I think it's really expressive and specially this serie because the pictures are so calm compared to the rest of the work of Guayasamin, that it's usually sad and a little bit terrify.

I feel that he shows in his art important parts of our continent, we have the pain, the hunger, the violence and the poverty. But we also can see the tenderness, the warmth, the closeness between our people… 
There we have more pictures of this collection:

Another Photograph I like




In this picture you can see my sister Arielle and I, I don't remember when it was took and neither who did it because as you can see it's a very old photograph... But probably mi grandmother did it because she enjoy taken long walks with us and taking pictures all around.

Anyway I know the picture shows me and her having fun at the Rivereño (or waterfront) in Vallenar.
It's a very beautiful place full of grass and trees and games for kids, as the swings where we are sit.
I remember that in my childhood it was the best place to play and to spend time after school with friends or family.

I didn't remember this picture till my sister found it in my grandmother's house and then share it by facebook, and was very emotional see it and remember that long afternoons in the Rivereño with my sister and realize that we both fit in a lonely and little swing.
So obviously I like this picture and I think our faces are funny such as our clothes...

And that's why i like this photograph :)
