I am an art student, i am in my last semester and i would love to be able to dedicate myself to what i studied, and when i think about this, i really spend hours thinking about what i will dedicate myself to.  Whenever I think about my future career, I always discard the idea of abandoning my career, although I know how difficult it is to work and live from art, especially when it comes to chile, a country that does not advocate art and culture. It's pretty bleak, but I hope to be able to get ahead anyway. There are two alternatives, I would love to be able to sell my work easily, it is my dream, and for this I need to be constant and responsible. My other job that I would love (but less possible) is to be able to work in an art institution, museum or gallery. And I think it's difficult because of the monopoly of art, it's quite sad and real. I would love to travel, when I think of working in the cultural area I also mean to meet other artists from other countries, as well ...

 I love this picture Today is the second anniversary of the social explosion-revolt in chile since October 18/19, which marked forever the lives of those of us who lived through this critical moment. Remembering back, nobody imagined the social outburst, but there were already signs that it could be real. And when I look at this photograph I think that there was still no fear of what was to come months later (abuses, shots in the eyes, human rights violations). I took this picture on october 19 or 20, i don't remember well, since the days seemed the same; the streets of Alameda were full and the people were mobilized. This photograph shows Vicuña Mackenna street in a barricade intervention, the fire was so intense that i could not get too close, i remember that people were dancing and shouting all around, they were climbing in hidden places to raise their voices. This photograph generates a lot of feelings in me, i wonder how much has really changed after all. Injustice continues a...

 Cinema is another way to perceive our reality and also to build unimaginable realities. Since i was little i remember watching movies on vhs format and my father was a big star wars fan, so i grew up with all that imaginary. My favorite genre is science fiction, sci-fi or cyberpunk where it's perceived a futuristic life where the human being has gone beyond the natural limits towards a speciesist revolution thanks to technology. I love it, because I feel it is a very visionary genre. A movie that changed me forever was space odyssey, i remember watching it when i was a child because my father was a fan, and although i didn't understand it at first, when i grew up i understood what it was about: the evolution of the human being.                                 it's a movie of the famous director Stanley Kubrick, very experiential and with many soundscapes, i like this movie very much because itsn't only...
