Desde el Mar
Pedazos de madera
traída por el mar.
Cada pedazo me
sugiere algo, como buscando su propia expresión. Y al pintarlo me hace pensar
en todo el camino que recorrió hasta llegar a la playa y toda la intención que
puso el mar para devolver lo que no le pertenece. En cada madera se puede ver y
tocar la fuerza del mar, y eso ya es un arte.

Why Affordable Art?
When I was living in Buenos Aires
as a student, I couldn’t afford art for my house. I was studying and working, and
only had enough money to pay my basic expenses.
I was living with my sister and her boyfriend and we wanted to have
color in our house. Neither of us had the time or the confidence to make big
paintings, but we saw some great paintings at a friend’s house and we found out
that the painter was selling his work at very affordable prices at the Buenos
Aires flea market. So for Christmas we
went to the flea market.
His name is Claudio Giannini and
he is still selling his art at the Buenos Aires flea market. He studied psychology, but art is his passion.
All of his work is based on the idea of spreading art to different areas and creating
art for everyone at an “honest price.” He doesn’t worry about being famous or
being rich because he is living what he truly believes. His art is so free and
real, and his way of thinking makes it even more valuable. I will never forget
him for giving me the opportunity to have his art in my house.
We all know how important color is
for our moods, and how important it is to live in a house where you feel comfortable
and happy. So why do some artists make it so difficult to sell their work? Isn’t it better to create more and more, and to
do what you love?
Some people may say that if you
sell cheap you are not giving value to your work, but for me the value is in a
person’s desire to have my paintings in their house and to see them every day.
The meaning that the person gives it and the opportunity that I have to create
it make it invaluable.
