Hey Oh! Let's GO ✯ ✈

I really recommend take a look to the work 

     of the mexican  photographer  Graciela Iturbide

If  u could take a plane and travel the place you want, what would it be? Difficult question, isn't it? Instantly it's come to my mind one country... Mexico

The attraction to this country began when i was ten years old and I found a book of paintings and the life of Frida Kahlo. The colours, animals, fruits and thematics of her paintings show me something hitherto unknown. Since then, the mexican culture began to be a cause of admiration.
Rather than the landscapes and rich native culture they has, I feel a fascination for their way of being, their traditions and of course, all kind of art manifestation.

One of the celebrations that catches my attention is the Day of the Dead the 31th October, On this holiday the whole country is involved in this cult to death. The women wear tradicional Catrina (or women skeleton) costume, which consists in an elegant dress and her face painted like a skull. There's also a long night of festivity, in conmemoration of all the loved ones who passed away. With spicy traditional food, and diferent kinds of altars decorated with candles and the typical peckered paper -considereted a mexican folk art-  this celebration reflects the syncretism between ancient national traditions and catolic religion.

I know that some day I will fulfill this dream!! So for the moment I will travel through the pictures and painting.

The love embrace of the Universe, the Earth, Mexico, Myself, Diego and señor Xolotl.
Frida Khalo, 1949
