F*ck to be in love in blue and red tone/Que mi*rda estar enamorado en tono azul y rojo
While I am writing this post, I am listening to romantic waltz music, the kind they play in movies where they want to convey the feeling of falling in love with someone, I do it in search of not wallowing in this feeling of anger and discontent that I have stuck in my chest against love or romance.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a love hater, I just woke up today wanting to leave behind this idea that I've built over the years. Have you fallen in love? What has happened to you when that happens? In my case, it was like falling asleep in a warm and comfortable bed and then waking up on the cold floor, with a hangover and chest pain; like a bad drunkenness, like a dream that turned into nostalgia.
Mientras escribo este post, estoy escuchando música de vals romántica, de esas que ponen en las películas donde quieren transmitir el sentimiento de quedarse prendado de alguien, lo hago en busca de no regodearme con este sentimiento de enojo y disconformidad que traigo atascado en el pecho en contra del amor o del romance.
No me mal interpreten, no soy una hater del amor, solo que hoy amanecí queriendo dejar atrás esta idea que he construido a lo largo de los años. ¿Se han enamorado?¿Que ha pasado con ustedes cuando eso sucede? En mi caso, fue como estar dormida en una cama tibia y cómoda para luego despertar en el suelo frio, con resaca y dolor de pecho; como una borrachera mal vivida, como un sueño que se torno en una nostalgia.
The lines of this sketch seem to me like the idealization of a person, they are fine, unpretentious, just giving a figure to what is forming line after line in your head. A few months ago I dared to make drawings with other perspectives, to test my technique and stop being so monotonous with my compositions; As a result of that personal challenge, this sketch came out, I challenged myself with a question, don't you know how to do that? My internal competition was so tough that I was like possessed to pick up a pencil and prove myself wrong.
Since I was a child I was very romantic, a hopeless romantic, my favorite part of the movies was when the prince touched the girl and kissed her, oh, how magical those moments when my pupils dilated and I saw that divine scene. I grew up, I grew up and my romantic heart turned sour, I fell in love with art, I swore eternal love and my entire devotion for being a romantic artist, I would die for him and for him until I was part of his complex and beautiful system.
Las lineas de este boceto se me hacen como la idealización de una persona, son finas, sin pretensiones, solo dándole una figura a lo que se esta formando raya tras raya en tu cabeza. Hace unos meses me he atrevido a hacer dibujos con otras perspectivas, para probar mi técnica y dejar de ser tan monótona con mis composiciones; a raíz de ese reto personal, salió este boceto, me rete con una pregunta ¿A que no sabes hacer eso? Mi competencia interna fue tan dura que fui como poseída a tomar un lápiz y demostrarme que estaba equivocada.
Desde niña fui muy romántica, una romántica empedernida, mi parte favorita de las películas era cuando el príncipe tocaba a la chica y la besaba, oh, que mágicos esos momentos cuando mis pupilas se dilataban y veía aquella divina escena. Crecí, crecí y mi corazón romántico se volvió amargo, me enamore del arte, le jure amor eterno y le jure la devoción entera por ser una artista romántica, moriría por el y para el hasta ser parte de su sistema complejo y hermoso.
Over the years I have shaped my feelings towards art, I have never considered myself its lover, I cannot say that I am an artist, I still have a long way to go, which I have not crossed. I have always been afraid of doing new things, this drawing was no exception using the materials, like the black ink pen, with each stroke giving me shadows here and a little there, I was ignoring the voice that tactlessly told me that It was looking bad, I wanted to silence her while I made the drawing come to life.
A lo largo de años le di forma a mi sentir con el arte, nunca me he considerado su amante, no puedo decir que soy artista, aun me falta un camino largo, que no he cruzado. Siempre me ha dado miedo hacer cosas nuevas, este dibujo no fue la excepción usando los materiales, como el bolígrafo de tinta negra, con cada trazo dándole sombras por aquí y un poco por allá, iba ignorando la voz que me decía sin mucho tacto que estaba quedando mal, buscaba callarla mientras hacia que el dibujo cobrara vida.
Apart from being in love with art I am in love with someone, it makes my mouth dry but not with anxiety but with calm after a short but lax life of worry and restlessness. I felt envy of the models in the image, kissing, while for me it is a very difficult goal to reach. What will it feel like to kiss? What will that closeness towards each other feel like?
Looking at the drawing from afar, I realized that it needed more color, more of something that would make people turn to look at it. I wanted to try combining light and shadow in shades of blue and red, counterparts but not complementary, one is cold and the other is warm, I positioned them with ton and son, no tones, the shades of blue combine well with red; Thank heavens that this one was able to combine by giving some very beautiful and contrasting violet tones.
And just as I walked away from the drawing to see what was missing, more than once I have walked away from the person I love and I have walked away from art to see myself and see them without the destructive layer of idealization, I get into their reflections but in the shadows that are born from my feet I see my individuality. Seeing them far away, I don't want to die for them, but live with them, it's useless to give them everything but I keep my cold and warm colors that make me give them with love to color them and give them space in my life.
Aparte de estar enamorada del arte estoy enamorada de alguien, se hace que mi boca se seque pero no de ansiedad sino de tranquilidad después de una corta pero laxa vida de preocupación y de desosiego. Sentí envidia de los modelos de la imagen, besándose, mientras que para mi es un objetivo muy difícil de llegar ¿Que se sentirá besar?¿Que se sentirá esa proximidad hacia el otro?
Viendo el dibujo desde lejos me di cuenta que le faltaba más color, más de algo que hiciese que las personas voltearan a verle. Quise probar combinando entre luz y sombra en tonos de azules y rojos, contrapartes pero no complementarios, uno es frio y otro cálido, con ton y son fui posicionándolos, no tonos los tonos de azules se combinan bien con los rojos; gracias al cielo que este si pudo combinar viendo dando unos tonos violetas muy lindos y contrastantes.
Y al igual de que me aleje del dibujo para ver lo que le faltaba, más de una vez me he alejado de la persona que amo y me he alejado del arte para verme y verlos sin la capa destructora de la idealización, me consigo en sus reflejos pero en las sombras que nacen de mis pies veo mi individualidad. Viéndolos lejos, no quiero morir por ellos, sino vivir con ellos, de nada me sirve entregarles todo sino me quedo de mis colores fríos y cálidos que hacen que les regale con amor para colorearlos y darles espacio en mi vida.
My advice, although no one has asked me, is to fall in love, I hope they break your heart and that those pieces are achieved, they are built again, I hope you fall in love with yourselves and that you also destroy your own heart; delicious the pain of changing your own being and fruitful the victory of becoming something better than you were yesterday. I hope you say "Fuck being in love", take a deep breath and try again. I hope you liked the drawing and also what is written in this post. If you disagree or agree with me, let me know in the comments below. I wish you good and bad luck in love.
Mi consejo, aunque nadie me lo haya pedido es que se enamoren, espero que les rompan el corazón y que esos trozos se consigan, se vuelvan a construir, espero que se enamoren de si mismos y que ustedes también destruyan su propio corazón; delicioso el dolor de cambiar tu propio ser y fructífera la victoria de convertirte en algo mejor de lo que eras ayer. Espero que digan "Que mi*rda estar enamorado", tomen una respiración profunda y vuelvan a intentarlo. Espero que les hayas gustado el dibujo y también lo que esta escrito en este post. Si difieres o concuerdas conmigo, déjame saberlo allá abajo en los comentarios. Te deseo buena y mala suerte en el amor.

This is a very intimate and unusual post. I am very grateful, that you shared your thoughts this way.
I have to admit myself, that I do my most interesting work when I am in a total mess. Broken promises and disappointments are the perfect fuel for creative work.
As for the drawing - fish eye lens! Neat idea! I really like colours you've chosen!
Thanks, @strega.azure these posts are always a challenge for me, since I think it's like revealing a lot about myself and that seems very risky to me, it's a relief that you liked both the post and the drawing, that makes me feel great, thank you very much for commenting
My pleasure!
It is incredible to read such personal stuff, but you writing so poetically, it nearly feels like novel:)
