About the harassment of women and the case in my own family.

Amy and the Criminals Mixed/Canvas 107 X 81 cms  Acquired by Tax Administration Service in CDMX, MX Catalog:  0867_2021 Today, reading the news, I was once again surprised by the growing number of cases of violence against women, particularly the harassment that still persists in our streets even during times of confinement. A close friend and former student recently confirmed her increasing fear every time she has to go out at night to get coffee or any other item in her neighborhood. It's a fear that shouldn't exist, but what's even sadder is that it continues to be downplayed. The narrative remains the same as always, starting from our education, where it is not given enough importance, and everything is dismissed as "jokes" that are endorsed by a large, often familial, collective.It's crucial not to forget that the lack of education from parents is what leads to seeing sexism as natural, as sexist behavior is often taken lightly.

Caribbean (Vinyl #1042020175121) Diameter: 121 cms Mixed media / canvas . SOLD In these times of quarantine, very human needs shine: eating, talking with family and friends, and also experiencing art. Suddenly, we find that music becomes essential to carry us through the day. We observe actors reciting the words of screenwriters in our favorite series, our preferred writers sharing a space in our recliner with the view of some art hanging on the wall, and then we realize our place in the universe. In another part of the world, a collector was scrolling through her social networks and stumbled upon the online gallery where she sells art. A painting of mine caught her attention, and this is typically the circuit through which I sell my work. However, there was a detail this time. You should know that the way I paint involves layers, layers that cover the previous ones but not entirely. They allow the first ones to be visible, and just as in life itself, it is the mixture of

Pink Floyd United Live 8 vinyl Review

United Live 8 vinyl. A review of this red-colored bootleg vinyl. The year is 2005, and I was living in the city of Madrid, Spain, finishing a Master's in Arts, a very good year indeed... It was the 2nd of July in the early morning when I found out that in London, the classic lineup of  Pink Floyd  was about to perform.  No more, no less: David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Rick Wright, and the surprising reunion with Roger Waters. This reunion was made possible by none other than Bob Geldof. The main character in  The Wall,  movie, a musician, and activist to whom the creation of the  Live Aid  foundation is owed. He organized a series of concerts, in this case, to urge the   G8  to reduce the debt of  african , countries and commit to helping combat poverty. Surprised from an eighth floor in Madrid, I hurriedly went down to a travel agency in the streets of Malasaña, but it was impossible to be in that city on time. In the end, I watched it live on the television in the place where I w

pink floyd pulse 2018 remastered edition

P.U.L.S.E. is originally a double CD by Pink Floyd, derived from recordings of the tour following the release of the "Division Bell" album in 1994. I had the opportunity to acquire it at an old and legendary music store in Morelia called "Hábitos Privados." One of the details of this album was that the first editions featured an LED that simulates a heartbeat, a feature no longer present in later versions of this edition. Simultaneously, a concert DVD, a cassette, a diskette with a screensaver, and a box set with 4 vinyl records were released. The box set had a limited and restricted release in the United Kingdom. To date, it is a pressed item with high prices and is consequently highly coveted.  In 2018, a new version of this brilliant album, considered by me as the best live album by Pink Floyd, was re-edited and remastered for vinyl. Each of the 180-gram vinyl records surpasses its CD counterpart

The girl and the Turntable

Ivonne Laura Poly Paty "The body always seems impressive and beautiful to me, but in its female version, it appears even more like a connection to my own duality. I think my masculine and feminine sides are more present.  I started taking life drawing classes when I entered the academy at the age of twenty. Since then, I have been fascinated by the human body, with a preference for the female form. Being an audiophile juror, I am the custodian of a discreet collection of vinyl music that is constantly growing.  At some point, I will make a post about how much audio and music have to do with my life and artistic work.  My appreciation for high-resolution audio comes from a very early age, perhaps from the age of 6 when I visited my aunt and uncle constantly on my mother's side.  My babysitters were the turntable, speakers, and a gigantic collection of rock music; The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin... Many more... It's not really music from
