Painting is an activity that I find very satisfying. I remember those times when my grandmother, who was one of the famous Venezuelan painters, Rosa de Serfati, showed me and shared with all of us all of her works. The exhibitions I attended and the awards she received showed me the importance of feeling valued by those who see the works.

And not for an issue of ego or fame, but simply to know that people appreciated the work that artist was doing. My grandmother was dedicated to painting landscapes and flowers, especially flowers.

Here in my house I have several of her works that from time to time I start looking at.

A wall with some calla lilies and some flowers on top, different things and different works, roses in a vase that she painted. And I remember with great affection an opportunity in which she invited me to learn how to paint with her.

I really didn't have, and I keep saying that I don't have the ability to do it, at least in a manual way, because I remember how I learned the principles when she started teaching me on a canvas to take the first steps, to divide the canvas into four parts and start trying to paint a vase.

And of course, the result of someone who doesn't know how to paint was really a mess. The vase came out all crooked. And of course I got discouraged because it seemed to me that it was something that required a lot of time and that I didn't have the ability to do it.

My grandmother always told me that I had to practice. And I remember that I started with a young woman who was older than me. At that time I was very young, perhaps I would be 15 years old or so, and the young woman who accompanied me would be 17 or 18.

She painted better than me because she had more time in class with my grandmother. But I remember that I abandoned that because my ability to paint also, not only on canvas but on paper, was a disaster. I finished all the stained sheet and with smudges and I really never learned to do it.

However, with the passage of time, the years passed and I always admired art. Not being able to paint or not having the ability was something that took away from me the good thing about being able to enjoy the artistic pieces of other people. And to this day I still do it.

I find it very pleasant and very tasty to enjoy, to see the beauty through the works and the approaches that different artists give us. But what I wanted to tell you is that I have been painting for many years and I always had this concern to be able to paint. Until recently, about two years ago, I began to practice pixel art, which you already know that I have mentioned in many publications.

And I discovered that through pixel art I can reflect and express what I feel in a very singular way. From abstract paintings to seeing the way I look at the world. Express my discontent and my points of view on things as particular as politics, society, and the current state of morality in the world.

The lack of ethics of some people.

In general, my particular point of view of the world. Many people think that I am bitter or see me as bitter because I have a very critical point of view about Generation Z and about the current young people and about the current mentality in general, not only of young people, but of the world.

And I think that these people should think about repainting themselves to learn to live in a better way, healthier for them and for everyone.

In conclusion, I can tell you that painting is something that causes me a lot of pleasure, both looking at it and trying to do it digitally. Because currently, although I know that I will not be successful painting manually with a crayon or a pencil and a piece of paper, I know that I can do it digitally and that I do it very well.

And I enjoy both things.

Pintar es una actividad que me resulta muy satisfactoria. Recuerdo aquellas veces en que mi abuela, que fue una de las pintoras venezolanas famosas, Rosa de Serfati, me mostraba y compartía con todos nosotros todas sus obras. Las exposiciones a las que asistí y los premios que recibió me mostraron la importancia de sentirse valorado por quienes ven las obras.

Y no por una cuestión de ego o fama, sino simplemente por saber que la gente apreciaba el trabajo que ese artista estaba haciendo. Mi abuela se dedicaba a pintar paisajes y flores, especialmente flores. Aquí en mi casa tengo varias de sus obras que de vez en cuando me pongo a mirar.

Una pared con unas calaenas y unas flores encima, cosas diferentes y obras diferentes, rosas en un jarrón que ella pintó. Y recuerdo con mucho cariño una oportunidad en la que me invitó a aprender a pintar con ella.

Realmente no tenía, y sigo diciendo que no tengo la capacidad para hacerlo, al menos de manera manual, porque recuerdo cómo aprendí los principios cuando ella empezó a enseñarme en un lienzo a dar los primeros pasos, a dividir el lienzo en cuatro partes y a empezar a intentar pintar un jarrón.

Y, por supuesto, el resultado de alguien que no sabe pintar fue realmente un desastre. El jarrón salió todo torcido. Y por supuesto me desanimé porque me pareció que era algo que requería mucho tiempo y que yo no tenía la capacidad para hacerlo.

Mi abuela siempre me decía que tenía que practicar. Y recuerdo que empecé con una joven que era mayor que yo. En aquel tiempo yo era muy joven, quizás tendría 15 años o así, y la joven que me acompañaba tendría 17 o 18.

Ella pintaba mejor que yo porque llevaba más tiempo en clases con mi abuela. Pero recuerdo que abandoné eso porque mi capacidad para pintar también, no solo en lienzo sino en papel, era un desastre. Terminaba toda la hoja manchada y con borrones y realmente nunca aprendí a hacerlo.

Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo, los años pasaron y siempre admiré el arte. No poder pintar o no tener la capacidad era algo que me quitaba lo bueno de poder disfrutar de las piezas artísticas de otras personas. Y hasta el día de hoy todavía lo hago.

Me parece muy agradable y muy sabroso disfrutar, ver la belleza a través de las obras y los enfoques que nos dan diferentes artistas. Pero lo que quería contarles es que llevo muchos años pintando y siempre tuve esta inquietud de poder pintar. Hasta que hace poco, hace unos dos años, empecé a practicar el pixel art, que ya saben que he mencionado en muchas publicaciones.

Y descubrí que a través del pixel art puedo reflejar y expresar lo que siento de una manera muy singular. Desde cuadros abstractos hasta ver la manera en que miro el mundo. Expresar mi descontento y mis puntos de vista sobre cosas tan particulares como la política, la sociedad y el estado actual de la moral en el mundo.

La falta de ética de algunas personas.

En general, mi punto de vista particular del mundo. Mucha gente piensa que soy amargado o me ve como amargado porque tengo un punto de vista muy crítico sobre la Generación Z y sobre los jóvenes actuales y sobre la mentalidad actual en general, no solo de los jóvenes, sino del mundo.

Y creo que estas personas deberían pensar en repintarse para aprender a vivir de una mejor manera, más saludable para ellos y para todos.

En conclusión, puedo decirles que pintar es algo que me causa mucho placer, tanto mirarlo como intentar hacerlo digitalmente. Porque actualmente, aunque sé que no tendré éxito pintando manualmente con un crayón o un lápiz y un papel, sé que puedo hacerlo digitalmente y que lo hago muy bien.

Y disfruto ambas cosas.

Hello @manclar, I don't know if you have your grandmother Rosa de Serfati's talent for painting, but what is clear is that you have a lot of talent for pixel art. The best proof of this is the latest creation you uploaded to Hive: very good.

Best regards, my friend.

My grandmother is an artist, with her paintings of flowers and landscapes. I always wanted to learn to paint that way, but no matter how much I try, it was impossible for me to develop that ability. So I stay with the pixel art, that the digital world is mine, because I don't even understand the real world.

Greetings, I hope you enjoyed your trip and everything has gone well.

A big hug.

Well, you're right again, but you know, I mean the world that is not digital, and I don't like it.

It is good to read that you enjoy the trip and recharges batteries with other different airs, I am pleased to find out about it.

A hug.

Well, the projects are still standing, what has changed dramatically (worse) is the situation of the country, with an American army to 2 hours from Venezuela. There are quite tense things and we are all very anxious and worried, you can spill a lot of blood and we don't want that.

I am very afraid personally, not to die, but to suffer more than I have already suffered.

A fleet of aircraft carriers, with 5700 Marines, 1 submarine, 20 airplanes, hundreds of air-earth missiles, many helicopters and more, are already on the coast ready to enter the country ... so yes, it is quite worrying. I just want everything to end, let me know when you have time to talk for a while, apart from this there are other news of interest and news that is pending to tell you the previous time.
