from Rilke letters to a young poet.......
"..... awareness, awakeness, and knowledge. You are so young , so much before all beginning , and i would like to beg you, dear Sir , as well as i can , to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live everything . live the questions now."

My current work deals with a collection of self-portraits, nature-themed works that depict scenes from imaginary worlds.

Within these new works I am dealing with the subject of identity and the constant exploration of myself in an environment of intimacy and sensibility.

The horse serves as a metaphor for the inner me, as both the horse and the women are symbols of continuity of life fertility and rebirth.

My aim is to create atmospheres in which I expose myself from the inside out, as a way to celebrate the inner beauty of women, the strength and the courage of the female spirit.

Dear friends ,

i am starting a new series of works inspired on my friends , and i will kindly ask each of you to have the honor to paint you:)

these works will consist of life size paintings of each of you( the ones who are interested) an are inspired on the present , on the today we get to live together, the dreams we share, the new york days.. the love, the strugle ..the ilusions .. .. and of course what connects us all our imagination .. because these painting represent each of you individually you will give the direction and i will be just a tool for the interpretation.

i believe that through art we create history or snap shots of time of memories, and these is the chance to remember today... because as it usually happens in new york people come and go and i will like to remeber all the ones that come my way... the past is gone and the future is not here yet! so lets celebrate our present life together with painting!

If you are interested i will love to schedule times for each of you to come to my studio, i will offer tea and cookies and music too!

Send me an email if you are interested:

if you dont believe no one else will...

the right direction comes from your own voice...

always look for surprises .. in closed doors .. in open doors too..

never forget to imagine..

live simpler create simpler..

accept sensitivity ..as inspiration...

and always feel present.

present present present.

it is time to fall in love with life.

water inside .. and water outside

the sound swims inside

like thin air dissolved inside me

it flies hidden inside my pockets

like a treasure running from the rain

it gets lost were ever i am

but its my most precious secret

and it makes a perfect shape in my little life

always rounded in my dreams the heart is a secret.

New studio, its beautiful in dumbo, in love with, the brooklyn bridge, the view from the park, the eco of the streets, the sound from the wheels of the train.

i bike there everyday, a long way but i always come back by sunset .. i see the city in red and light blue shadows.. and when the sun is almost fading .. a dim light creates the transparent city.. .. like magic things disappear slowly in front of our eyes.... my favorite time of the day.

it feels so real being back to my work, everyday i realize .. drawing makes me the happiest i can be, it brings me back to my world, i am making new charcoal drawings , a carousel, sculpting my little horses, one by one , i want each one to be unique ..I am so happy so fortunate.

lindas sorpresas trae el verano.....

Accidently the cleaning person from my studio threw away a pile of drawings so sad...

like loosing ur breathe pictures can be such a big part of ur soul,

like fingerprints i feel papers are part of me.

art can be sparkles of life, made for the experience , to enjoy , to share rather than to keep,

maybe the gift of making is just a moment rather than the product,

maybe i should draw in sand and let it disappear in front of me?

is so mysterious were it comes from and were it goes,

so much to let go before you can come back,

we are so gifted to believe that our posesions are outcomes of our feelings,

we are so gifted to feel that what we value is what we make,

so hard to let go , so meaningful thou,

letting go means understanding that we cant hold on to everything,

even if we have a giant house , there is no space for all of our dreams.

let go..

things are changing

things disapear.. infront of me.

like time dissapears too

like my ego disapears too

and what i learned is that in between transitions,

what i have is myself,

and the present,

and my hands,

what else do i want?

i have everything to make my new house, and these time it will be made with sand.
