The worlds of arts

This post is hard to me because I am not close to the art worlds, so, I don´t really know what to write here. Anyway, I think arts in general (poetry, literature, music, cinema, etc) are important because can beautify the life and are the most liberating way to express the human interiority. Also I think it can be used to make the people reflect about their contexts, as a social criticism, and that’s the way of art that I enjoy, more than the other kinds of arts that just want to garnish a high class wall.

I wasn’t interested in visual arts when I was a kid, and I was very untalented in the subject of “Arts” in the school, on fact, I always be the worst rating in the class, because the teacher thought that my draws were too ugly.

I like to visit art museums, but just when I have a lot of free time and don´t have any better thing to do. I don’t have artistic abilities, so I’d never participated in any art competition, just once, when I was 10 years old and in the school the older people organized an art competition, and I participated and I won, but just because my sister was one of the organizers and convince to his friends to vote for my drawing.

All my life I was jealous of everybody art work.

I don´t know what is exactly the modern art, but I like the Avant-gardes, like surrealism, futurism, etc. And I think the idea of make a manifesto is really powerful. Anyway, my favorite kind of visual art expression is the photography, because is incredible how some people can see the same thing as you, but when you see her/his photography, they could capture a portion of reality that you didn’t see.

                                                                                                                           

I don’t consider graffiti a vandalism, of course is art! If someone don´t see art in graffiti is because is too blinded by the academy and is this kind of people who understand the contemporary art of MAC (freak people, because I think nobody understand it).

Also, I think the art creation made of human flesh, blood or bones is just an a way to call the attention, but is not really interesting or creative to me.

I don´t have any favorite artist or work of art.
