Loving Dalí.

My favourite famous painters are Frida Kalho, Vincent Van Gogh and Salvador Dalí... but today I will choose to tell you about Salvador Dalí because he had a very close relationship with the audiovisual world.  

"Lugubrious game", Dalí 1929.

He was born on May 11th of 1904, Catalonia. He had a brother who died nine months before him and his name also was Salvador, so he had a personality crisis where he thought he was his dead brother. In the year 1916, Salvador Dalí discovered the contemporary painting when with his family traveled to Cadaques and meet to Ramon Pichot who advised him to continue with paint and draw. Then in 1922 he entered to Student's Residence in Madrid and studied at the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando (here he know to Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Buñuel) until 1926 he was expelled from the academy because he said nobody had the capacity to exam him. 

In 1929 he joined to surrealist movement and collaborate with Luis Buñuel in one of the first surrealistic films: A chien Andalou. 

Surrealism is a literary and paint movement based on Dadaism (nihilist destruction) and the psychological theories. This style tries to express how the mind works. So the interpretation is very difficult and used to use the Freud and Jung theories, although they are not enough after all.  

Dalí paintings talk about what how much mind is uncontrollable and out of order; then sometimes his paints had cropofilic messages. So, I love Dalí paintings because his freedom and his indecipherable messages.

  

The Best Holiday

 My best holidays were on 2008 summer. I always travell to Coquimbo, every year. Sometimes It has been a bit boring the same places and the same persons but that was a very fun travell. That year I remember that my aunt was living with her couple and She had a little red car. She was telling to my grandparents about her trip with her boyfriend and I want to go with Them so I invited myself and She didn't say anything. Next day arrives to my grandparents house a girl who I couldn't  meet but I knew She was niece of the boyfriend of my aunt and  the next day I meet her a little more in the long way to Coquimbo.

The first stop was on Los Vilos. In there we took some pictures but we didn't talk a lot.

They are my aunt and her boyfriend.

The second stop was on Ovalle. I have family in there, so that was the central point to all our little trips by the region. In there we eat Parrillada and we went to a lot of rivers also reservoirs like Tranque "La Paloma". From there We had little trips and for the first time I visited a lot of places wich I had not been before in Coquimbo. I visited "Valle del Encanto" a place which have a lot of archaeologic vestiges/traces, Pisco Cochiguaz, Gabriela Mistral's house and Canela. I had visited Tongoy but in this travell I know a black beach in there and I also knew Socos.

One of the returns to Ovalle, I finally get to meet the unknowing girl and we became big friends until today. One day we bought Gatolate and talk a lot. We had a lot in common and because of this I think they were the best holidays in the lastest year in my life. I travelled a lot and I meet a really great friend.

Three Countries

Someday I talked with a friend about this "Where would you like to go?" and a lot of countries and places came to my mind. “I’d like to know Centre America, some country in Europe or China" I answer and I'd like to know them because there are beautiful places, monuments and buildings and peace. I can't choose among those countries, so I will talk about them all. 

If I could to do the trip now, I will begin in Europe. I'd like to know Italy and his country (it remembers me the gangster movies), then Spain maybe, Germany and its houses (and drink a lot of beer), Louvre and Eiffel tower in Paris and finally England: the Big Ben and the Buckingham palace. After Europe, I want to travel to Centre America to know Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, all countries if it could be possible. I'd like to know Maya and Aztecs pyramids, to dance, swim in warm beaches; meet the people and their customs. And finally I want to go to China to know ancestral buildings, the big Chinese wall, the country and also know customs.  

I'd like to study in Europe and Centre America maybe in France and Cuba about cinema, work a little time and bring to Chile some skill and technique. And pass my last years in the East to rest and know its life philosophy.
