2008 this house was rebuilding , my life was just a dark room ,some rock'n''roll Cd's 2 Lhasa Apsos pups and my cat . September I received a call from a art dealer asking me if i had new paintings to show and let to her Gallery. I said : "yes , lots , I've worked sooooooo much , see you in one month ".
I had nothing , and didn't want to paint . so I spent 10 days sitting on the bed trying to get courage to start to paint . Then I locked myself in the only room of the house with space to work , even so , all ruined and dusty .
For 20 days I just ate brown bread , apple and green tea .
I produced it all on this posted , at the end I was empty , body and soul , exhausted , but satisfied and brand new . Almost all my values were there . I got happy . When the art dealer saw this production said it was far from what of she expected . She wanted something fashion , commercial , some copy of the most obvious New Yorker trend .
Fair , but I have no interest . sorry honey , I am not going to trade my values for a poor agreement with you , an exhibition and a ridiculous share of the profits .
Even so I liked to feel forced to work , I liked this production . After this I just went to paint in March , end of February of 2009 .
And the last painting , yes , the girl's head and green background I did in 2007 , the rest is from 2008 .
