Paz Errazuriz




Today I will write and introduce to my favorite photographer: Paz Errazuriz. Paz has been my favorite photographer for many years, I have had visual and reflexive obsessions with her work.
She is considered one of the most outstanding photographers in Chile, she is National Visual Arts Prize. Her work has a special commitment to black and white portraiture, in which she explores various social issues, emphasizing the crudest worlds and trades of Chilean society.
Her latest book is in collaboration with the writer and biologist Jorge Díaz, and it seeks to broaden the discussions from a perspective embodied in blindness, seeks to address blindness as both a metaphor that has occupied art and literature for centuries, as well as a reality that is lived by thousands of people. What I like about Paz is that it captures images that are realistic and at the same time loaded with poetry. Among her best-known series are: The fight against the angel (1987) dedicated to the world of boxing, The apple of Adam (1990) whose theme is the living conditions of transvestites and quick-change chileans, The infarction of the soul (1992-1994 ) composed of images of couples formed in the psychiatric hospital of Putaendo and Los Nómades del Mar (1991-1995) dedicated to the last living representatives of the Kawésqar ethnic group.

Andes

When talking about walks, it's really hard to choose just one place. However, I think one of my favorite walks in life is taking the road to the Andes, from San Fabián de Alico. Every summer and winters, when I travel to my family in San Carlos, I have the opportunity to take a bus in front of my house to San Fabian de Alico, and from there walk its hills, visit the river for the day or even camping for a few days at the campsites. Last time at the end of February, I traveled with my family, and a friend from Santiago with her baby Luna and her boyfriend, we visited the Ñuble river and we promised to return to enjoy the river with the little Luna when she learned to walk . I really enjoy taking the road to the mountain range, it is a beautiful tour, full of hills and lots of nature. Unfortunately, a few years ago began the construction of a damming, the Punilla damming, and the place changed to a lot, the water of the river is darker, ist have less nature and there are more tour ...

I love draw

 Hello everyone!! How difficult it is to talk about goals and challenges, because I believe that life is a constant learning and we always face different obstacles. However, I would like to talk about a great challenge that I faced when I was younger. At the age of 16 I decided to raise money to travel the world, and since I always liked art and for me it was a great hobby painting and drawing, I decided to dedicate myself to this and collect money. I remember my first job to replicate figures of the human body, bones and muscles, for a medical student who was supposed to present an anatomy work. It was very challenging for me to deal with this because I never took a special drawing course and because I wanted to do a professional job to collect money, for that I decided to specialize and perfect the work. As I a very perfectionist, I decided to search for painting books and watch video tutorials that would help me practice and let go of the hand. Finally, after a while of practi...
