Here I show the process to make my last painting, size 61×51 cm. I did it during several weekends and finished it today July 17th, 2017. It was very nice to paint it, several times after painting I felt a feeling of floating, such a  relief, especially because 3D reality can be sometimes so unpleasant, painting is Which keeps me sane and allows me to continue here and now enjoying life.
La psicodelia es uno de los componentes más notorios de la contracultura, pues ofrece una vÃa de escape de los lÃmites impuestos a la conciencia y a la vida diaria por el sistema dominante.”
This is the name of my last painting, oil on canvas 61 x 50 cm finished today June 4, 2017. I named it psychedelia because one day looking at my painting, I came up with this word, it resonated in my mind and I liked it. When I looked at wikipedia its meaning and everything that involved, I was surprised and  the message really got to me and also the style of art is like psychedelic. I made the sketch of the canvas when I was at The Entrance, Australia during my summer vacation in 2016, it was a beautiful and relaxed holiday, by the sea. Here is what wikipedia says:
“The term “psychedelic” is derived from the Ancient Greek words psychÄ“ (ψυχή, “soul”) and dÄ“loun (δηλοῦν, “to make visible, to reveal”), translating to “soul-revealing”.The term is also used to describe a style of psychedelic artwork and psychedelic music. Psychedelic art and music typically try to recreate or reflect the experience of altered consciousness.
A psychedelic experience is characterized by the striking perception of aspects of one’s mind previously unknown, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ostensibly ordinary fetters. Psychedelic states are an array of experiences including changes of perception such as hallucinations, synesthesia, altered states of awareness or focused consciousness, variation in thought patterns, trance or hypnotic states, mystical states, and other mind alterations. These processes can lead some people to experience changes in mental operation defining their self-identity (whether in momentary acuity or chronic development) different enough from their previous normal state that it can excite feelings of newly formed understanding such as revelation, enlightenment, confusion, and psychosis.”
Óleo sobre tela 60 x 50 cm, terminado el 19 de abril 2017, lo hice con inspiración de mi viaje a Borrego Spring, CA, pero no tiene nada del desierto 🙂 que hay allá. Le pedà a mis amigos que me dieran un TÃtulo para el cuadro porque no se me ocurrió ninguno y aquà están las ideas: Ventolera de auras puras, el tÃtulo podrÃa ser ‘sin tÃtulo’ 1 y seguirÃan más, AlegrÃa, Paisaje de colores y Colors Eissler! asà es que cualquiera de ellos podrÃa ser el tÃtulo, escojan el que más les guste y represente.
Oil on canvas 60 x 50 cm, finished on April 19th, 2017, I did it with inspiration from my trip to Borrego Spring, CA, but it has nothing to do with the desert landscape 🙂 I asked my friends to give me a Title for the painting because I did not have any, so here there are some: Gust of wind of pure auras, the title could be ‘untitled’ 1 and would be followed more, Joy, Colorful Landscape and Colors Eissler! So that any of them could be the title, choose the one you like and represent the most.
Yes it is only me and my canvas, my own creation, it gives me pleasure to create something, when you are not restricted by a system, nobody limits you, there is no group to lead, or with whom you have to agree on something, there are no laws that dictate how to paint, no exempt articles, no general or specific objective to accomplish, there is no schedule to follow, there are no rules, there is no reviewer who tells you that you cannot write in English or that your statistical analysis is deficient, and so many more things that I could continue to list, uff I think I could fill pages and pages … just yourself and the blank canvas, your hand the most natural and perfect instrument of creation to execute a brushstroke, embody what your soul / consciousness wants to express in this reality and nothing more than that, only inspiration and pure creation. It does not matter if someone else likes your paintings, or if someone wants to see them or not, if someone reads your blog or not, nothing matters when you are the creator, the one that creates an invented, imagined reality, created from a corner of Your soul or from the center itself, that does not matter anymore, it is just you and nobody else but you.
And of course, creating within a system which is limited by definition since it is a system, very bureaucratic, by the way, is what pays my bills month by month, doing classes, labs, writing projects, reports, publishing papers is what allows me to receive a salary, then I can freely create through painting. At the end, It is a trap and I know that if I expand my consciousness I will go out and see beyond this self-created cage by my own perception and belief systems that tell me that you can not live from free creation. Surely many of my friends / colleagues will understand, maybe even have felt the same way or not. I have tried to adapt with my whole mind and heart too and at the same time the fact of adapting makes me not express my potential, self limiting myself at the end, living a reality that is not mine in essence. And that is why painting, making art is what inspires me in life and makes me stay here.
Note: I apologize to all the English speakers and not, who maybe would read this and not be satisfied with my poor English writing skills, but well that is the way it is, luckily there are not reviewers reading my Blog 😀 yeahhhh …
What is life? ‘Tis but a madness. What is life? A thing that seems, A mirage that falsely gleams, Phantom joy, delusive rest, Since is life a dream at best, And even dreams themselves are dreams.
Calderón de la Barca
And I had a dream about my painting Borrego Spring, I woke up on shocked. I walk and look at my painting, when suddenly a precipice appears to me, which seems very deep, but it is not so much, rather I am on the edge of a hill, I suddenly stop before falling and I look at forward and is full of thousands of my paintings, full of vegetation and colors like those on my painting, it was a sensation between real and a representation of reality, everything was of a beauty and complexity unmatched and I do not freak out to see it and at the same time I’m already awake because I got scared. It is strange the feeling of seeing something so beautiful but that is far, is unattainable and at the same time is not so far, it scares at the beginning and then feels that everything is fine. And everything happens in a thousandth of a split second, I love to dream.
Free, a painting that I did directly on the canvas, without done an sketch first, turned out colorful and I like it, maybe a bit crazy :-). It is oil on canvas size 40 x 50 cm. The one on the right side is the second painting I made when I was trying different styles and of course learning how to paint and express myself through art. I like this one a lot because it allowed me to be free, since I had an sketched but nothings was written in stone, meaning that I could change the colors and the line designs, besides I used for the first time a palette knife, an incredible tool to achieve fun things when painting. That is why, this painting was even much easier to paint than others that I did later. I called it Geometry, 40 x 60 cm.
Here you can see how my work is progressing, this is the last painting I am making during summer vacations, well I didn’t have time to finish it and tomorrow I have to go back to work, but is almost ready. I got inspired by Borrego Spring desert, CA, what a beautiful trip, I went with a friend, the desert landscape was incredible, cactus and different plants. The heat was intense too. This painting is a representation of what I felt, the consciousness/soul is always present and is represented by the sun. In addition, this town was full of artists, giant sculptures and an art gallery with beautiful art. I loved the environment and the energies that one can perceive, an ideal place to get inspiration.
Oil on canvas 60×50 cm, finished on February 23rd. This painting I made it from a sketch that I designed when I was taking a workshop called The Magic of Merlin in Sibiu, Romania, September 2015. It means a lot to me, consciousness/soul and how the creative energies manifest in this reality. Specially the red color is the link to manifest on earth, the connection with the conscious creation from the I am.
