“WHY ARTS? WHY? DON´T”


This horrible event occurred when I was a little girl.

I had 4 years when my world was just The lyon king  and Teletubbies, in fact my world was only the television. But one day my mom gave me some illustrative book about Perrault’s stories, and that was the epic mistake because I scratched all the book and I decided “I’ll be and artist of painting and drawing” –my mother laughed and my father said “WHY?”

When I grew up drawing was part of my life, but I began to think that drawing wasn’t enough for my future. I wanted to be a lawyer and sometimes a journalist (EVEN an engineer). 
Because I was always clumsy for my parents, partners and friends and I felt “Imperfect”.
My mission was demonstrate that I could be more being a lawyer or whatever.

But leaving out the art from my life was impossible. 
Now I still doubt about this decision, sometimes I think this is a mistake but if it is, then it's a beautiful one.

  1. It's normal to have doubts, at the end of the day, our environment is full of prejudices. But once you get into this, the look doesn't go back to being the same. The world becomes Art. Besides, the Teletubbies are artists ;)

  2. It's usual to have doubts. I also have them, but I think that the important thing is to make art to express what one feels and not to prove anything to anyone, only to yourself! And yeaah! And if it was a mistake, it's a beautiful one.

  3. Fun fact: I wanted to be a lawyer too, because I liked the idea of defending people and stuff. I hope you find yourself in this artistic field of doubts. ;)

  5. paito <3 I think that the mistake of the book is wonderful, because we are all different and we like diferent things.
    I love that you chose the art for you, because it is a courageous and independent decision
