9 January 2022
Everything that begins has something in common: excitement. We are excited because this beginning contains all the possibilities and the ones that make it shine are the opportunities that present themselves to us to make our projects, trips, reforms, friendships, relationships... Everything that begins facilitates the changes that we have not dared to make at another time and life is precisely an adaptation to the changes that make us move forward in this adventure.
Illusion, well, better... ILLUSION, yes, in capital letters, that's what I want to share in these first days of 2022, after the holidays and good wishes. This is what I want for myself and for everyone, and it is the one with which I begin a new stage where several projects that have been forged in 2021 will come true and that will continue to feed my desire to create and express emotions through my work. I'm not going to make a list of goals as we all know that we put more than we should, but I'm going to write down the three important things I don't want to lose sight of this year... every day of this year to be more precise, attitudes that will help me to make several of them go ahead and shine by themselves, attitudes that I invite you to make yours too and that were the protagonists of my toast to 2022: not stop believing in myself, keep giving my best and find something every day to be thankful for (even if it's small). The latter is a really powerful thing, it makes us realise how many things are given to us to keep us going and makes us aware of how important a kind word can be on a bad day. These will be three important tools for a promising year.
Three years ago I decided to be more visible on social networks and in this time of growth, of making myself known, I have also grown thanks to what has been transmitted to me by those who follow my career and my publications. I am a live person and in this time I have been overcoming (I still have) the fear of showing my processes, of writing what I feel when I create and my philosophy about the motto that defines me "Art for living". This year I want to take a leap and use my social networks to get a little closer, to interact directly with those who are interested in my work and with my patrons... My dear patrons! The video will be more protagonist. I will need your help to know what you would like me to share more: processes, inspiration, techniques, reflections, etc. Are you in?
In 2022 a sculpture will be inaugurated which is currently in the process of being cast, I will begin work on a revision of my collection "In Movement: Realities and Dreams of Man" to present it to those who have not yet had the chance, with a fantastic surprise from the hand of another great artist, I still have to keep the intrigue going while we finalise everything. This year will also see another mind-blowing long-term project take shape, another "secret" collaboration for the moment, and I will continue to advance the works on my three poems "I am. You are. We are. Essential Beats." Also this year I will make my debut as a speaker at an international meeting that will take place in June in Zaragoza, I will give a motivational talk to high school students and I will continue to increase my presence in face-to-face and online events. I will keep you informed about everything.
Reading about the opportunities for 2022 I feel excited, well, better yet... EXCITED!
Find the illusion you need and go for it!
A hug!
