Painting

I think what I love most doing, among artistic stuff, is painting.
Like most people, I started in kindergarten painting random things, but it was later in school where I began to take it more seriously and learned about it, like the history of it, different techniques, the art movements. And of course, I started practicing even more, especially in the art subject, where I had to draw (which I didn’t enjoyed that much, mainly ‘cause it stresses me a lot when drawings don’t go as I planned them to) and paint portraits, landscapes, or imitate famous works of art.
I enjoy it ‘cause it drives me to another place, where it’s just me doing what I like, being calm and happy, without anyone noses around it, where I can just be myself and express whatever I want.
For me it’s not just about throwing different colors in a canvas (or maybe it is too), there’s a whole thinking and meaning behind a paint. And this is the beauty in it, you can express so much by just a few strokes and with the colors too. It’s so diverse and it’s never the same, it’s different to everyone.

PD: I must say, it’s not like I’m a pro at it, actually I don’t think I’m that good, but I like I mentioned before, I love painting, which I think It’s more important than just being excellent and not really enjoy it.PD2: Honorable mention to my mom, which it’s one of the main reasons why I like painting, since she does it (not professionally) and has a bunch of brushes and acrylics and oil paintings and palette knifes and A LOT OF STUFF THAT WE DON’T EVEN USE. But anyways, thanks mom, for leading me into this beautiful art. 
PD3: The painting is Woman leaving the psychoanalyst by Remedios Varo. It's one of my favorites and i recreated it, but I don't have a pic of right now, so if I ever remember, i'll put it here.

DOGS

Dogs have always been called the men best friend, and it couldn't be more right, but for me, they are so much more than that. And as a dog owner (and lover) myself, I have experienced my whole life what is like to have a dog by your side and to love them deeply. So in this post, I'll write about dogs that I've owned. My very first dog was ''Tunga'', he was a crossbreed (of breeds I don't know) and he was quite small, but man, he was a fighter. He used to live more in the streets than in our home, but he always returned at night. I was too little when he passed away, but I know my family suffered a lot with his death, because he was just a great dog. There were another dogs in between, I believe so, (not sure if before or after the one I'm about to tell you), but they, for reasons I'm unaware of, they didn't live too long in our home.  Then came ''Tomy'', which we loved, but caused a lot of problems. He wa...

PARIS

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go out of the country how I would like to, I’ve only been out once and I went to Argentina, which is not far from here and not that different to Chile. Given this, there are many countries I would absolutely love to go to, but when it comes to cities, it’s not something I have think of. I usually just like a country in general for what I can see on the internet, in pictures or what people says of these places. But Paris is the one city that I’ve always heard of on television or seen on movies (like Midnight in Paris!! I love that movie), and it’s just wonderful. Everyone knows it’s a beautiful city, and you would be lying if you say that you’re not interested on going there. If I go there, I would like to go around and maybe walk next to the Seine River and just admire everything this city has to give. For what I’ve seen, every place it’s just as amazing as the one that’s next to it. Obviously though, if I ever go there, I HAVE to visit The Lo...

Chiloé Churches

The island of Chiloé is very well known for its colorful historical churches. They were named World Heritage Site in 2000 by the UNESCO. Most of them were built around 18 th and 19 th century, when Chiloé Archipelago was still under the  Spanish Crown possesion, so they came out as a result of a mix of cultures. And they were mainly made out of native timber and wood shingles. Sixteen of them are the most representative and they all have some details in common: they are located near the shore, they are surrounded by mountains on the north and the porticos are facing the south. As for the shape, they are all similar in size and decorations, they are all very simetrical and, what I like most about them, they are so colorful, which I think makes them look cheerful and full of life, even though they are more than 100 years old. Nowadays, they are very known around the world, and they are a popular tourist destination which makes Chile to have another beautiful landmark. I...
