UN DÍA A LA VEZ: 4


 ENGLISH      ESPAÑOL

Spring is in the air and with it come beautiful, new sights! I got to experience snow for the first time, attended Los Lowriders' first photo exhibition, and got a little healthier. In the last post, I mentioned my piece, "Intercambios" holding residency at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. The experience was as wonderful as I imagined (if not better) as my artwork hanged at the top for all to see. I'm beyond grateful and appreciate these moments that help give my art to people from all walks of life. Unfortunately, the story goes different this time with The Mexican Consulate of Los Angeles.

I had refrained from sharing this last year, but an incident happened again. In 2023, the consulate reached out to me so I can submit a piece for residency. Unfortunately, they never received my e-mail and after countless attempts with their team to find a place for my work, the painting never made it in. This year, they reached out again personally and I went through their portal. Once again, that piece also got lost in their system. After getting no response, I sent them an email only to receive the template of a rejection letter. No attempt to help fix their issue this time.

As frustrating as the past two experiences were, I took it as a message from the universe saying, "Your art was already here once and needs to go to new places". Now, I focus on myself, reflect it in the art, and guide it to wherever life takes it.

Despite everything, it feels wonderful writing and creating again. After taking a blogging and YouTube hiatus, I found a surprising amount of visits to the blog and channel! Make sure to stop by next Wednesday for another adventure in photos. My YouTube channel will be documenting my journey in video form while also sharing some art tips. Till next time! :)
