Apple With Bite – Christian Parra-Duhalde
Si antaño el arte de la pintura se consagró como registro de la realidad externa, si luego fue asumida cual interpretación subjetiva del ser humano que la habitaba –caso del retrato-, y si, posteriormente y hasta hoy, se ha convertido en herramienta para profundizar en los mundos íntimos –dialécticos, emocionales, psíquicos-, es porque el uso […]

Solid Ground – John Reed on Holly Lynton
The big story is this: you have a desire, whether it is something you should have or something you shouldn’t and you chase your desire, but to attain it, you must overcome who you are; you must either grow past your limitations, or find out what your true limitations are. When you have overcome—preferably a […]
