I was fond of drawing and painting when I was a kid, but it wasn’t until the day that I went to Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes for the first time, when I was around 16, that I really became interested in painting. From that day on I have been visiting art exhibitions on a regular basis.
Considering that I’m not an artist, I would say that I’m pretty good at drawing and I enjoy doing sketches from time to time, and this is more than just a simple pastime, It’s a necessity I should say. But painting is another story, I mean, mixing colours, getting a certain effect, etc, is not an easy task, that’s why I’m thinking of taking some painting lessons because painting is something that really makes me tick.
I love contemporary painting, especially impressionism, expressionism, cubism, and surrealist art, but conceptual art is definitely not my cup of tea, so I usually find installations boring. Maybe Hugo Marin’s installations are the exception. I´ve been very fortunate to have seen very famous works of art in some Latin American and European museums and I suggest you visit The Rally Museum in Vitacura, Santiago, if you want to see good quality Latin American art. They even have some works by Salvador Dali!!! Now, (sorry graffiti artists) I find most of the grafitti I’ve seen rather ugly and aggressive, so when I see a graffiti that I like I take a picture before someone paints over it.
The list of artists I like is too long, but Macke is one of my favourites -that´s why I named this blog after him, I like the way he used colours and the fact that his works seem to have been painted “alla prima”, but very successfully. And among my favourite Chilean artists I should mention Gonzalo Cienfuegos, Eva Lefever, Camilo Mori and Claudio Bravo.
