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…
