Hindu Art



I´m student of Art history, I look so much pieces of art, I like so much kind of art. But I think that if really transport myself if the Hindu Art. Since I was a child I look Indian pictures and images books in my grandmother´s house. I create a lot of histories with their pieces of art. The style of art if I refer bored in the hills of the Panjab plains for the XVII and XVIII century. The “Pahari” artist illustrated the ancient histories of the Hinduism. The characteristic of the divine figures drawn was made with a large repertoire of conventions.
I love all the Hindu culture without being a scholar of the matter, because I´m fight with Latin-Americans hippie culture that appropriated of this tradition and came back a Pop icon. But, is thanks to those hippies followers of the Osho meditations, as my Grandma and my uncle, that I learned a lot of parable and Hindu histories. But in the majorities of the case, I invented the histories because the books were in English or French and I only look the pictures. They also had a little sculpture of elephants and other divines that my cousins and I used like a toys.
Now I like of the Hindu Art the vegetables design and there crammed that the Art Noveau to borrowed of the Hindu architecture and textile design. In the painting I like the flatness, the colors, the sensuality and also the taste for the animals and vegetable forms.

My Santiago


I like Santiago´s Mountains, are a lovely view. I like Santiago because its outskirts are beautiful, we have the beach of Center Coast at two hours, the snow of Farellones at one hour and the mountains of Maipo River for doing camping, trekking, rafting and others activities at one hour to.   
I like Santiago because in cultural meters we have everything here, compares with others cities of the country, off course, because don´t have comparison with other cities in the world. Here are the most important museums and cultural institutions of the country, the national archives, the national libraries, etc.
I don´t like Santiago´s stress, I don’t like the traffic, neater the smog. I´m disagree with the big cities with really modern neighborhoods and a lot of marginal neighborhoods to pretend to be hidden and covered. I´m disagree with this kind of organization of the urban environment. For changes this situation I´ll make changes in the current tax system, increasing the tax of the big industry. And I´ll changes the street plane for make one more egalitarian, human and kind city.
I recommend to the visitor knows the hills San Cristobal and Santa Lucia, the building of the National Library, the government palace: “La Moneda”, the churches of San Francisco and Merced, the National Museum of Fine Arts, and the Modern Art Museum, the Forestal Park and the Coffee’s neighborhood, includes the detention center located in Street London and “Biográfo” Coffee . Then the Brazil Neighborhood: Concha y Toro Street, Brazil and Yungay squares, and the Quinta Normal Park with their museums. Before follow the tour for Recoleta Neighborhood: with the church and museum Recoleta Dominica and then for the National Cemetery.    
Finally I recommend go out of Santiago for visit Valparaíso and the beaches of the Center Coast
