Before it was known as the bar “Las Animas” but after a renovation it changed completely inside. By assigning commissions to some local artists, he has given a lot of color to what were flat adobe walls. Even going to the bathroom is nice. For more visits to this gallery / bar.

I repeat, street art is the best in this world. Not only is it artistic and aesthetically better cities, but it can convey ideas to those who appreciate it. Strolling through Venice, one of my favorite images. To all the artists, please keep working. We need more art in the streets.

(I do not know the name of the artist but I hope that is his signature, in the bottom right)

Satisfaction

I remember the first time I visited Raima in Barcelona, it was the most visually satisfying thing I could find in a store. Raima is a stationery store located in Barcelona, it has been in operation for more than 40 years and has the most beautiful assortment of "colored things" of all stationery. Designing showcases is a job that requires vision, but doing it also with combining colors is a great achievement. The way they arranged the shades of green, purple, blue and black. Satisfactory.

MNA Museum

The National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico is the largest and most visited museum in the country. A must when you are in the capital of the country. Surrounded by water sources, it tells the history of Mexico from its beginnings as separate towns until after the conquest of the Spanish. Filled with ancient poetry and art, it is a feast for the eyes and for creativity.

Foie gras

This mural, whose artist I do not know, is located in the French city of Nior and, according to locals, represents the constant controversy for the French people between the delicacy of one of their most emblematic dishes and the cruelty with which it is produced. So much so that said production is prohibited in 9 countries of the European Union.

Foie gras is created from the fatty liver of a duck or a goose. However, this fatty state of their livers is not generated naturally, it requires constant force feeding.

Using a funnel fitted with a long tube, the birds are fed up to three times a day well above what they would naturally eat. Stress, excess food, constant fear and other factors cause the liver to expand up to ten times its size. The bigger it is, the more expensive it is.

At the end of their lives, these birds will not only have sores in their throats from the machines that force them to eat, but they will also have respiratory problems and constant failure of their internal organs. Ending a life of cruelty in a death not always quick or painless.

A culinary "delicacy" that is cruelly made.

Contemporary Shakespeare

In Mexico City, during the theater season, new adaptations of the literary classics were presented at the Valle-Inclan theater and with them there was a series of new posters representing the contemporary visions of these classics.

My favorite by far was the remake of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, with a high contrast between a small navy blue mule and glittering orange stars. Like something completely out of a dream.

James Jean + Prada

I started to follow James Jean a decade ago, his ethereal and colorful style just caught me, the organic and fluid forms with which he developed his narrative. An ode to surrealism.

Her growth as an artist in the international environment, creating her own pedestal in pop culture by participating in international films and brands, among them the famous Prada house.

Jean described his collaboration with the brand as a "tangle of floral elements occasionally populated and overrun by rabbits." I described it as the most beautiful bags I have ever seen. And yes, I will have one.

A perfect balance between colors and shapes is the result of years of experience working as an illustrator and painter. Master.

Hymn Of Life - Yayoi  Kusama

For those of us who have been fortunate enough to visit the installations created by the artist Yayoi Kusama, we know that the sensory experiences they offer are impressive. Something as common as a point located in an infinity of spaces. I visited this exhibition at its premiere in Norway, Oslo, and I still have an incredible memory about the way in which aesthetics, colours, hierarchy and the meaning of expressing are handled and letting others participate in our work as well. The exhibition is permanent, a place to go if you are visiting there.

Before I die...

In New York I found some of the most exciting street messages of all, the way people advise each other in a city that moves at an impressive speed.

Before I die ... I want to go back to New York.

A truly  UNESCO World Heritage Site

Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (Barcelona, Spain)

Barcelona is simply the perfect place for lovers of Modernism, there you can find charming places such as the Hospital de Sant Pau, designed by the architect Lluis Domenech. The Catalan architect not only designed one of the most beautiful buildings in the city but also created a masterpiece of architectural efficiency, mixing ideas from all over Europe, Domenech used to the maximum every cubic meter of the location to build a brilliant structure.

When the city cried out for a hospital Domenech delivered a majestic work without time. Clean spaces, iron structures and underground pavilions, the sum of a mind of genius.

It was without a doubt one of the best experiences of visiting Barcelona. Visually attractive and excellently designed, the Hospital de Sant Pau stands tall to take the breath away from anyone who comes to its vermilion corridors.

Working with shapes

A simple exercise on the use of points, lines, shape and color with the rectangle, using the tools available in Photoshop.

Anonymous support messages

I believe that generosity should always be anonymous, in order to maintain generosity in itself. These types of messages in cities, especially those large and overcrowded, are of the utmost importance. They have a meaning far beyond the aesthetic, and that is why people keep them.

Thanks to the anonymity that make cities and life a better place.
