Snippets

Traveling is life

Drive

Clips of everyday life

Inspiration is everywhere.  Life is filled with all sorts of stimuli. Everything is there to inspire us and help us create. So, if you are stuck and nothing flows, and you are looking for that Aha-Moment, it’s time to take a break and regroup later. Step out, shoot some videos, photos. Later go back to them.

Started practicing the Aha-moment back to my good old life in The City. Six hours of creative frustration vs. 20 min. of insightful design after going to a museum to check out an exhibit or some specific artwork. I realized very quickly that time well-spent is priceless. Yes, I could easily spend 4-6 hours at MoMa, and if you know me, they you understand, that wine was included in the visit at that wonderful terrace and garden the MoMa has.

Up to this date, I continue to live life by it. This snippet dairy, which I have started during the Coronavirus lockdown, is a reminder that art is everywhere, that design is life, and that we shall nurture our souls all throughout our lives. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hustle of Madrid for the past few years with all the
construction work somewhat unbearable at some point.
This trim was taken in Gran Vía and by the work site of Sevilla.

The magnificent Canals of Venice always surprise you. This trim is part of the video called Venice! 2,  shot on the way to the Guggenheim Museum
coinciding with La Biennale Architecture di Venezia.

Alejandro Aravena won Pritzker Award, and curated La Biennale di Venezia.

Every September as the school year begins, I look for short-term courses,  to nurture my mind as well as to gather new material for the school year. I came across with the First International Conference on Creativity, Emotions, and the Arts organized by The Fundación Botín and the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence at the Centro Botín of Santander. Organized everything to be able to attend. It was such an enriching experience. Here is a little sightseeing I got to do. I went to Playa La Magdalena. That is one mighty sea. Complete Conference Program Here

Train Nice – Cannes
I have been traveling Cannes
for the Cannes Film Festival since 2016.
Antonio, my partner in crime, goes for work,
I go to savor the culture, wine, beaches,
and of course to see the latest films
that will be released in movie theaters.

How our experiences push our minds to defy expectations, beliefs, and even our own mindset — in short, to make us grow. I do thank my parents for that wanderlust make up I do possess today. In 2019, Antonio and I decided to travel to Norway. What and experience!!! This trim is from Hanggervidda, a mountain plateau (Norwegian : vidde) in central southern Norway, covering parts of Vestland,Vestfold. Highest point – elevation‎: ‎Sandfloegga‎; 1,721 m, The 1,721-metre (5,646 ft) tall mountain lies inside Hardangervidda National Park, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of the European route E134 highway. Breathtaking views. You can see a glimpse of the iceberg.

One thing I will always love is being able
to walk the city I live in.

Some days are taken for granted,
one just goes through the motions,
but this particular day I really like
the view of Paseo de la Castellana from
Paso Elevado de Enrique la Mata Gorostizaga.
