&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;W&lt;/strong&gt;hen confronted with the idea of portraiture, most of us immediately remember that terrible painting of Aunt Millie we inherited that’s still in our closet, or the humiliating day we were forced to dress up in our Sunday best to pose for some stranger so that our parents could hang a billboard sized photo of the family on the wall. Or, we call to mind more recognizable likenesses, such as famous portraits of people we know, or at least know of, like George Washington, or even the Mona Lisa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what about portraits of those you don’t know? The human face is infinitely interesting, evocative and expressive, with endless variety of form. My goal is to help art collectors expand their notion of what the portrait can be, apart from its role as marker of a moment in time, of interest only to those in the know. A portrait of no one you know can be compelling all on its own, and tell stories in a glance or turn of the head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new show and sale, &lt;strong&gt;It’s No One You Know&lt;/strong&gt;, opening to the public September 11th, with a preview sales reception on &lt;em&gt;September 10th from 6-8 pm&lt;/em&gt;, will explore those stories with work by artists &lt;strong&gt;Jack Barrett&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Michael Assiff&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Donna Gordon,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Scott Moore&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Andrea Pejack, Hugo Porcaro, Curtis Sneary, and Joe Steiner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.donnagordongallery.com/"&gt;http://www.donnagordongallery.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-8188801735858842101?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/8188801735858842101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=8188801735858842101' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/8188801735858842101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/8188801735858842101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-no-one-you-know.html' title='It&apos;s No One You Know - Opens September 10'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/TIUmvu_96SI/AAAAAAAAA38/9j3Jn7GX2as/s72-c/securedownload.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-1004080055068390104</id><published>2010-08-20T15:53:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-20T15:57:00.808-04:00</updated><title type='text'>From “Under My Skin” by Doris Lessing</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"...We were immersed in dreams. But since then music has changed. Its rhythms no longer swoon or sway or linger, they beat and pound and drive and the sound is so loud you have to hear it with your nerves...So my question is, when some person goes out to kill or torture or maim, can one reason be that he or she has been set for the crime by music that has driven them mad? Shamans have used music for thousands of years to create special moods, young men are prepared for killing by stirring marches, churches use inspirational music to hold the flocks together, and it is known that real spiritual teachers use music, but this is so delicate a thing that it is used carefully, by specialists, in special circumstances. But we deluge ourselves with music of every kind, soak ourselves in it, often feed it direct into the brain with machines designed for this purpose – and we never even ask what effect it may be having. Well, I, for one – and I know there are others – think it is time we do ask."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Beautiful resides in the curves and the luminosity of the figures that seem to levitate in space far separated from mundane avatars. The sublime reveals itself in the obscurity of the landscape and in the immense panorama that surrounds the figures.&lt;br /&gt;In my art the sublime goes beyond the limits of beauty. Beauty is contentious, sublime is incontinent as it lacks self restraint; beautiful guards the forms, the sublime loses them; beautiful convinces and agrees with you, the sublime involves and surprises you.&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of my work is to persuade, to convince the spectator and to agitate their &lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;spirit through the greatness of the sublime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-6402032483114448655?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/6402032483114448655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=6402032483114448655' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/6402032483114448655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/6402032483114448655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2010/01/beautiful-sublime.html' title='Beautiful &amp;

Throughout history, many artists have played with the concept of boxes and containers including Andy Warhol, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp and Lucas Samaris to name a few. Some used the simple shape for formal concerns such as surface, form, material, and space while others played with the inherent features of boxes such as storage or as repositories of artifacts or secrets.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This invitational exhibition allowed for artists of all levels to participate. The wide range of responses demonstrates that though everyone started from the same beginning, each journey was unique. This exhibition was conceived by past Museum president Karl H. Hollander in conversation with curator Jackie Borsanyi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Opens May 9, 2009 at the Brevard Art Museum in Melbourne, Florida&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-8230168655006296563?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/8230168655006296563/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=8230168655006296563' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/8230168655006296563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/8230168655006296563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2009/05/take-out.html' title='TAKE OUT'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SgDBSLWbO4I/AAAAAAAAAso/dOfbA1Y3KbE/s72-c/A+BOX+OF+ILLUSIONS.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-6146658246291127525</id><published>2009-04-21T14:30:00.011-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T14:48:23.045-04:00</updated><title type='text'>INSPIRING ARTIST: Niki de Saint Phalle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/Se4UoUJvpII/AAAAAAAAAsg/KS80tH_DPaI/s1600-h/niki.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Again we see the myriad of human belief concerning the rainbow. The complex diversity of rainbow myth is far-reaching; its inherent similarities are also. Whether as a bridge to the heavens, a messenger to the gods, divine archer’s bow, or mystic intangible entity, the rainbow persists as a multifaceted lesson. Because while any particular idea (i.e. the rainbow) can be perceived in one way to one person – someone else can picture that idea in a very different way. And while we may not be able to fully explain the workings of the world or the purpose of life—we cannot avoid exposing our deepest hopes and fears in the search for truth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-2899655837242435082?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/2899655837242435082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=2899655837242435082' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/2899655837242435082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/2899655837242435082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-project-winds-of-change_14.html' title='New Project: WINDS OF CHANGE'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SeTcwMDlKRI/AAAAAAAAArA/Y5SNSMEMXCE/s72-c/winds+of+change+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-7475749626586121318</id><published>2009-03-23T14:06:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T14:32:00.370-04:00</updated><title type='text'>MISION CUMPLIDA - Mission Accomplished</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Despues de 3 intensos meses dedicados casi exclusivamente a la fabricacion de las esculturas &lt;em&gt;Wonder Flight&lt;/em&gt;, logramos llevarlas a su destino final e instalarlas en la Universidad de West Florida...rodeados de la calidez y anticipacion de niños y adultos...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316447402526354754" style="DISPLAY: block;

The bravado, energy and enthusiasm with which one grows into and cultivates their art is necessarily sacrificed for the maturity and wisdom of age as one's career develops. For this show, we ask a handpicked group of young artists to reflect upon their creative progress to date, and using this moment of self-reflection, to envision the artist they will be 50 years in the future. The exhibition will open in two installments, divided between the male and female participating artists. While the overall concept for each installment is the same, we approach the separate groups with slightly different leading themes, asking different questions to guide the respective creative responses. The show includes works by &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Heather Dykstra&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Jean Saavedra&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Victoria Topor&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Kevin Margitch&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Erik Jones&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Ryan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Prado&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Daniel Williams&lt;/span&gt; among others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-3812755691596169982?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/3812755691596169982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=3812755691596169982' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/3812755691596169982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/3812755691596169982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2009/03/reage-group-show-at-nova-535.html' title='Re:AGE Group Show at NOVA 535'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/ScfOrRjBknI/AAAAAAAAAo8/OlQpRSS6_9U/s72-c/flier+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-118377175991830527</id><published>2009-02-26T11:09:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T11:12:18.802-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Return to Innocence...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/Saa-zUZMbHI/AAAAAAAAAns/bNn6EsFbLzQ/s1600-h/08-Lueza-Return+to+Innocence+VIII-2008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307138999759694962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/Saa-zUZMbHI/AAAAAAAAAns/bNn6EsFbLzQ/s400/08-Lueza-Return+to+Innocence+VIII-2008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Return to Innocence is a series of paintings and mixed media works that whimsically celebrates childhood.

Called artLOUD!, the exhibition is organized and sponsored by CREW (Commercial Real Estate for Women), a nonprofit group anchored by Abbey Dohring, vice president of the Dohring Group. The event features seven artists who will install 11 dynamic sculptures that react to the environment in different ways, often moving in response to the wind.&lt;br /&gt;The artists are: Bradley Arthur, Marc Dewaele, Chad Fisher, Ofra Friedman, Cecilia Lueza, Bryant Martinez and James Oleson, Jr.&lt;br /&gt;The sculptures will go on display January 23 and remain up for one year. They are primarily along Franklin Street. Maps of sculpture locations are on display along Franklin Street in the area of the exhibits.&lt;br /&gt;For information, visit &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9056265&amp;amp;msgid=193469&amp;amp;act=KSAA&amp;amp;c=233717&amp;amp;admin=0&amp;amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crewtampabay.org%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.crewtampabay.org&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

Art is not only my way of living but it is also my way of dealing with reality. I have always believed that art in any form is a life saver and a source of hope, strength and fortitude.

He was preparing departure from the world once and for all when for some strange reason he decided to take a deep look at the impressive painting he had hanging in his living room. In a matter of seconds the hopeless man was stricken by a powerful will to stay alive. Over the years the man became an enthusiastic collector and a grateful friend of the artist who indirectly saved his life.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, sometimes art can save lives...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-630738048939779031?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/630738048939779031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=630738048939779031' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/630738048939779031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/630738048939779031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/10/art-saves-lives.html' title='Art saves lives'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-7355795053423581982</id><published>2008-10-08T10:53:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-08T10:58:03.125-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Mar del Plata - Verano 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Físicamente no pude estar en Mar del Plata durante el verano del 2007, pero me quedo tranquila porque al menos mi corazón estuvo allí...Gracias por la foto Adriana!

Lo conocí a principios de 1999 a través de una pintora que tenia su estudio a dos puertas del suyo. Cuando murió su segunda esposa Iris, el me propuso trabajar en su estudio como asistente ayudándolo con la computadora y atendiendo el teléfono cuando recibía llamadas en ingles. Una de las tareas más importantes que me confió fue pasar todos los manuscritos del diario de Iris a la computadora, paginas y paginas que relataban la historia y viajes de los dos por ciudades y países diferentes...fue una experiencia muy especial que no olvidare.&lt;br /&gt;Todas las mañanas Celis me pasaba a buscar por mi departamento muy temprano. Al llegar a su estudio preparaba café para los dos y se disponía a pintar mientras yo me instalaba en el escritorio. Al mediodía hacíamos una pausa, tomábamos sopa y el siempre tenia algo interesante para contarme además de los chistes que hacia que eran buenísimos, nunca entendí como se los acordaba todos. Después de comer el se recostaba en un viejo sofá media hora para luego seguir pintando. Yo no siempre tenia mucho para hacer pero el solo hecho de estar allí rodeada de tanta belleza me era suficiente para sentirme útil y comenzar a forjar mi propio camino en las artes. Y así nació una amistad de años.&lt;br /&gt;Pienso que en Celis encontré un maestro del arte y de la vida, una figura paterna en un momento de cambios cruciales en mi vida; y quizás en mi el encontró alguien en quien depositar sus conocimientos y con quien aliviar un poco su repentina soledad, aunque amigos nunca le faltaron...&lt;br /&gt;En marzo 2007 lo vi por ultima vez en Miami, ya estaba mal, pálido y delgado, y habían decidido con Tamara su mujer volver a Buenos Aires, nunca pensé que no mejoraría.&lt;br /&gt;Es difícil pensar que ya no esta, es casi irreal…&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-6152975507163938797?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/6152975507163938797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=6152975507163938797' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/6152975507163938797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/6152975507163938797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/08/inspiracion-y-memoria.html' title='Inspiracion y memoria'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-1795089789779361386</id><published>2008-08-03T09:45:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-06T12:45:20.930-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Hasta la vista, querido Celis</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJnUvHUD77I/AAAAAAAAAWc/XMra-hCs3gk/s1600-h/perezcelis_tapa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231446348049674162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJnUvHUD77I/AAAAAAAAAWc/XMra-hCs3gk/s400/perezcelis_tapa.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Despues de casi dos años de batallar contra una grave enfermedad, mi gran amigo y maestro Perez Celis dejo el mundo el 2 de agosto de 2008.

I can remember wanting to do nothing else but to draw when I was a child. It was as if I could only experience something if I could draw it. It's a feeling that has never left. As I grew, drawing extended to painting and painting into sculpture.&lt;br /&gt;Drawing has always been at the very heart of my work. To me it all comes from drawing and returns to it. It is the cause and effect of so much that I do that I can hardly think of a way of working that doesn’t include some form of drawing.&lt;br /&gt;Drawing an image is very similar to fully engaging in life. Both require balance between push and pull and an ability to meditate on and understand a subject beyond preconceptions.&lt;br /&gt;Ink drawing is considered one of the harder aspects of drawing in general so a few years ago I decided to challenge this notion and began drawing exclusively with black ink on paper and, specially, on canvas. The result is a body of work that explores the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds and blends fantasy and reality while reflecting my most current obsessions, interests, dreams, personal challenges and growth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-1727816336327464517?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/1727816336327464517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=1727816336327464517' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/1727816336327464517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/1727816336327464517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/08/thoughts-on-drawing.html' title='Thoughts on Drawing'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-5716771091526908042</id><published>2008-07-30T14:54:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-02T17:22:18.838-04:00</updated><title type='text'>New drawings</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228882745719800258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJC5J0bMQcI/AAAAAAAAAWE/nJo32Yujmj8/s400/DSC03697.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJC5Zn8W2xI/AAAAAAAAAWM/a0KVJUImHGo/s1600-h/Bliss-+ink+on+canvas,+47+x+41+inches,+2008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228883017247152914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJC5Zn8W2xI/AAAAAAAAAWM/a0KVJUImHGo/s400/Bliss-+ink+on+canvas,+47+x+41+inches,+2008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230033337870612338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJTPnGM6d3I/AAAAAAAAAWU/H734-sZway8/s400/Bird+Sanctuary-+ink+on+paper-+25+x+28+inches-+2008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-5716771091526908042?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/5716771091526908042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=5716771091526908042' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/5716771091526908042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/5716771091526908042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-drawings.html' title='New drawings'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SJC5J0bMQcI/AAAAAAAAAWE/nJo32Yujmj8/s72-c/DSC03697.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-4948870259354909983</id><published>2008-07-19T14:01:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-20T14:50:37.105-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Otra Oportunidad</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Aunque hacen ya nueve años que no vivo en la Argentina, nunca he sido indiferente a las crisis economicas y sociales que aquejan desde siempre a mi pais natal.

Desde entonces he cruzado incontables montañas, cielos, mares y ríos. He caminado por calles diversas, en países diversos hasta conocerlas como la palma de mi mano y lograr describir cada balcón, cada plaza, cada esquina con absoluta precisión. Desde entonces he besado, abrazado, acariciado infinitamente, pero me bastan los dedos de una mano para contar las veces que he amado.&lt;br /&gt;La muerte caminó junto a mi en varias ocasiones, pero siempre logré evadirla y escapar dejándola sola y confundida.&lt;br /&gt;Desde entonces numerosas pinturas y esculturas llegaron al mundo a través de mis manos, otros tantos poemas fueron escritos, cientos de libros han sido leídos y varias cartas de amor han sido enviadas o archivadas.&lt;br /&gt;He sido testigo de los vicios mas bajos y de las acciones mas nobles, asistí a la agonía y al renacimiento, fui víctima de la nostalgia y de la euforia una y mil veces, cedí a la ira y al desprecio otras tantas para finalmente redimirme en el arrepentimiento y el perdón.&lt;br /&gt;Y cuando nada parecía sorprenderme, una nueva vida vino de la mía…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-2896467847680203190?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/2896467847680203190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=2896467847680203190' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/2896467847680203190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/2896467847680203190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/07/hoy-celebro-mi-vida-una-vida-que-vio-la.html' title=''/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-3774156779308468735</id><published>2008-06-28T16:30:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-28T16:37:28.081-04:00</updated><title type='text'>El Valor de la Poesía</title><content type='html'>¿Quien es el ignorante que sostiene que la poesía no es necesaria a los pueblos? Hay gentes de tan corta vista mental que creen que toda la ruta se acaba en la cáscara. La poesía que congrega o disgrega, que fortifica o angustia, que apuntala o derriba las almas, que da o quita a los hombres la fé y el aliento, es mas necesaria a los pueblos que la industria misma, pues esta les proporciona el modo de subsistir, mientras que aquella les da el deseo y la fuerza de la vida.&lt;br /&gt;¿A donde irá un pueblo de hombres que haya perdido el hábito de pensar con fé en la significación y el alcance de sus actos? Los mejores, los que unge la naturaleza con el sacro deseo de lo futuro, perderán en un aniquilamiento doloroso y sordo todo estímulo para sobrellevar las fealdades humanas; y la masa, lo vulgar, la gente de apetitos, los comunes, procrearan sin santidad hijos vacíos; elevaran a facultades esenciales lo que debe servirles de meros instrumentos y aturdirán con el bullicio de una prosperidad siempre incompleta, la aflicción irremediable del alma, que solo se complace en lo bello y grandioso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jose Martí&lt;br /&gt;Diario del Sureste. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mérida, Yucatán, miércoles 23 de septiembre 1936&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-3774156779308468735?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/3774156779308468735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=3774156779308468735' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/3774156779308468735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/3774156779308468735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/06/el-valor-de-la-poesia.html' title='El Valor de la Poesía'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-7189437396161004377</id><published>2008-06-26T11:39:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T11:57:41.992-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SE FUERTE</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#990000;"&gt;SE FUERTE,&lt;br /&gt;PLANTATE EN TU VIDA COMO UN VIEJO ARBOL&lt;br /&gt;DISPUESTO A LOS VIENTOS Y A LOS HURACANES.&lt;br /&gt;HAZ DE TU ALMA UN ARMA PODEROSA&lt;br /&gt;Y DE TUS IDEAS UN ESCUDO INFALIBLE.&lt;br /&gt;NO TEMAS A LA SOMBRA NI AL SILENCIO,&lt;br /&gt;NO AHOGES EL LLANTO Y LA CARICIA.&lt;br /&gt;DEJA QUE EL DOLOR CONSTRUYA EN TI UN PALACIO&lt;br /&gt;DONDE LAS LAGRIMAS ENGENDREN UN RIO BRAVO&lt;br /&gt;Y DONDE LA ANGUSTIA SE CONVIERTA EN RICA SEDA&lt;br /&gt;SOBRE EL CUERPO AJADO DE LOS OPRIMIDOS.&lt;br /&gt;SE FUERTE, LIBERA TUS DESEOS,&lt;br /&gt;ESCRIBE TU DESTINO CON LA TINTA DENSA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#990000;"&gt;QUE GENERAN TUS LATIDOS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#990000;"&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-7189437396161004377?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/7189437396161004377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=7189437396161004377' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/7189437396161004377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/7189437396161004377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/06/se-fuerte.html' title='SE FUERTE'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-7318155650268422319</id><published>2008-06-23T10:45:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-24T16:04:18.965-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Guerra Sucia, Argentina 1977</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/SGFSeMY3VSI/AAAAAAAAARg/RXKa9pGBEmQ/s1600-h/DSC07381.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215540522146813218" style="DISPLAY: block;

Ben-Arieh works mainly with the methode of photomontage.His photographs are composed of a number of negatives,which were taken at various locations and times,and were assembled by him into final prints in the darkroom. In the artist's pictures there frequently appear female nude motives, which seem to connect themselves with imaginary scenery. The result is the creation of a differently reality, which emerges from the unconscious and is related with the world of myths and archetypes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/f/fantazia/artist_statement.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/f/fantazia/artist_statement.html&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

Matsch), for numerous theatres and above all for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where he completed, in a coolly photographic style, the work begun by Makart. At the age of thirty he moved into his own studio and turned to easel painting. At thirty-five he was one of the founders of the Vienna Secession; he withdrew eight years later, dismayed by the increasingly strong trend towards naturalism. Far from being acknowledged as the representative artist of his age, Klimt was the target of violent criticism; his work was sometimes displayed behind a screen to avoid corrupting the sensibilities of the young. His work is deceptive. Today we see in it the Byzantine luxuriance of form, the vivid juxtaposition of colors derived from the Austrian rococo - aspects so markedly different from the clinical abruptness of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.artchive.com/artchive/ftptoc/schiele_ext.html" target="_top"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Egon Schiele&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. But we see it with expectations generated by epochs of which his own age was ignorant.&lt;br /&gt;"For the sumptuous surface of Klimt's work is by no means carefree. Its decorative tracery expresses a constant tension between ecstasy and terror, life and death. Even the portraits, with their timeless aspect, may be perceived as defying fate.

Much attention has been focused on Claudel's relationship with her teacher, mentor, and lover, Auguste Rodin. Her complex personal drama has brought her prominence through scholarly and popular accounts. Yet it was first and foremost her unrivaled ability to convey narrative through marble and bronze that attracted patrons and critical accolades.&lt;br /&gt;Born in Fère-en-Tardenois, Aisne, Claudel moved with her family to Paris around 1881. She studied sculpture at the Académie Colarossi, one of the few art academies in France open to female students. Along with other sculptors, she also shared an independent studio where Alfred Boucher taught. In 1883 Boucher won a Prix de Rome and departed for Italy; he asked Rodin to serve as adviser to Claudel and her colleagues in his stead.&lt;br /&gt;Two years later, Rodin asked Claudel to become a studio assistant. By working as Rodin's apprentice, Claudel had the chance to study the nude figure, an unusual opportunity for a woman in the 19th century, but one that gave the artist a profound understanding of anatomical nuances. Claudel modeled hands and feet for Rodin's Burghers of Calais and posed for figures in his Gates of Hell.&lt;br /&gt;In 1893, because Rodin's work and stature occupied front stage in French culture, Claudel secluded herself in her studio to disassociate herself from him and to try to establish her own reputation. Her love for portraying the human form resulted in certain sculptures that the state and an infuriated press censored as overly sensual and inappropriate for public display. These circumstances may have contributed to the decline of her career and her mental state. In 1913 Claudel was committed to a mental asylum, where she remained until her death 30 years later.&lt;br /&gt;Text: &lt;a href="http://www.nmwa.org/collection/profile.asp?LinkID=147"&gt;www.nmwa.org/collection/profile.asp?LinkID=147&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Image: &lt;a href="http://www.chess-theory.com/"&gt;http://www.chess-theory.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-3414811362098221439?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/3414811362098221439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=3414811362098221439' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/3414811362098221439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/3414811362098221439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/02/artists-i-admire-camille-claudel.html' title='Inspiring Artists: Camille Claudel'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/R7IhdxjXpNI/AAAAAAAAAF4/J6kFfIAiibQ/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-6076223364055880523</id><published>2008-02-10T15:16:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-14T14:17:59.564-05:00</updated><title type='text'>OLVIDAR...

La urgente necesidad de sobrevivir se impone  al pensamiento como ejercicio intelectual, ahoga el melodrama cotidiano, disuelve los sermones arrogantes, acaba con la miseria humana, la euforia, el carnaval, lo vano de las cosas y se instala en nuestras vidas y lo gobierna todo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De pronto el orden aparente se ha desvanecido. Vuelvo a recordar mi vida, todavía breve para el tamaño de mis sueños, cuando el hecho de existir dependía de los otros, cuando el milagro de respirar me era totalmente ajeno  pues yo solo respiraba. Cuando mi cerebro virgen del dolor de los recuerdos solo convocaba sensaciones. La brisa, el sueño, los sabores, las texturas, el sol. El mundo era suficientemente pequeño para no temer pero tenía un final que se aceleraba con los años, con el sentido del tiempo y de las horas, con el querer y no poder, con el martirio de las enfermedades, la negación a un paseo o el primer día de escuela inolvidable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Adquirir el sentido de la realidad, es hasta hoy un ejercicio complejo para mí, pero en el camino hacia su comprensión, descubrí la diferencia que transformo el resto de mis días, descubrí el arte y su idioma poderoso..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Septiembre 2002&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-5785587283394501305?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/5785587283394501305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=5785587283394501305' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/5785587283394501305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/5785587283394501305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/01/una-tarde-de-septiembre.html' title='Una tarde de septiembre'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-7388635997847511264</id><published>2008-01-18T11:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-18T19:36:48.078-05:00</updated><title type='text'>MIAMI, EL JARDIN DEL EXILIO</title><content type='html'>Agosto de 1999. Esta vez, el viaje definitivo y una puerta inmensa abriéndose a muchas otras innumerables pero que aún siento distantes. Conservo el abrigo que me protegió del frío intenso de Buenos Aires y mas tarde del clima incoherente que solo es posible en la cima del cielo. El aeropuerto parece no acabar, pienso, mientras arrastro una maleta donde fotos, cartas y documentos harán creíble que antes de esta nueva vida hubo otra, a tan solo 16.000 kilómetros de aquí, tal vez menos esperanzada, pero plena de ideas, experiencias y amores inacabados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me pregunto que me espera fuera de esta mole de vidrio y acero, entonces extraño los bares, el sol de invierno, el olor a café y no comprendo que hago aquí. Probablemente fui víctima de mis propias ilusiones, de una curiosidad que supera el solo hecho de existir y respirar, de un alma rebelde a los cánones del cuerpo y a las leyes de la mente. Ahora pago el precio de la incertidumbre en un país que desconozco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, Miami esta dispuesta a mí como a tantos otros que llegan a ella cada día, rechazados por un gobierno indigno, agobiados por el ultraje de la violencia, de una economía enferma, de una sociedad enviciada o como yo, que he aterrizado aquí por motivos mas personales y quizás incomprensibles que se relacionan con mi alma, mi destino o el solo hecho de llevar a cabo lo que me ha sido designado desde siempre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No será el paraíso que muestran las postales pero es la puerta de entrada a la tierra prometida donde al final del camino imaginamos nuestro propio edén, con todo lo que ello implica; donde razas, religiones y creencias se mezclan y confunden en una sola fuerza humana movida por el sueño de una vida mejor, sin marginación ni desprecio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy desando el camino de mis antepasados inmigrantes, me inserto en una nueva cultura, como cientos de miles. Hoy las diferencias se disipan porque bajo este nuevo cielo solo nos une el exilio y la esperanza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cecilia Lueza&lt;br /&gt;Abril 2003&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7810581956649467734-7388635997847511264?l=cecilialueza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/feeds/7388635997847511264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7810581956649467734&amp;postID=7388635997847511264' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/7388635997847511264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7810581956649467734/posts/default/7388635997847511264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cecilialueza.blogspot.com/2008/01/miami-el-jardin-del-exilio.html' title='MIAMI, EL JARDIN DEL EXILIO'/><author><name>Cecilia Lueza</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02596041842541603601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810581956649467734.post-6214895392716630796</id><published>2008-01-17T11:24:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-01T16:43:00.982-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Without Art</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/R6OSGHR0cbI/AAAAAAAAAFs/C2THeHcgmtk/s1600-h/Entering+life+-+Oil+on+canvas+-+47+x+58+-+2005.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162130231627379122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IAR-ovdYLuo/R6OSGHR0cbI/AAAAAAAAAFs/C2THeHcgmtk/s320/Entering+life+-+Oil+on+canvas+-+47+x+58+-+2005.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt; wise man once told me:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Without art, life sinks into boredom and unreality.

I believe that the women of today enjoy the privilege of having had our paths prepared for us by previous generations of women that struggled through so many obstacles so that we can be where we are today. Their struggle has helped us find our place in the world as professionals, artists, entrepreneurs, and lawmakers besides being mothers and wives.&lt;br /&gt;I was conscious of this advantage when I decided that art would be the quest of my life, and looking back in history I learned of great artists like Lola Mora (Argentina) and Camille&lt;br /&gt;Claudel (France) both of whom died forgotten even though their grandiose talent was far more meritorious than their male counterparts at the time.&lt;br /&gt;With each day come new challenges and new opportunities. I my case I had to voluntarily exile myself from the land where I was born. The land where my great grandparents emigrated to in order to find peace and dignity. The same land that because of its political, social and economical crisis today is incapable of harboring my dreams let alone help make them a reality. Arriving in a new country, learning a new language, learning new codes of society, is perhaps one of the most arduous tasks for one who’s life took shape for 28 years under very different socio cultural rules in South America.
