About Me

Colombian Plastic Artist and Civil Engineering student. I´m interested in languages and the limits between science and arts. I was studying civil engineering but it was a part of the great and most important research that I'm doing since I got my degree in Arts. What is the difference between Science and Arts? Is there any difference between one and another than the codes, estructure, languages and the intentions?

The movement/memory/knowledge/body is my matter and the teory my prior tool. I'm interest in make pieces but also in the reflection process about everything I do/everything mankind does and theorize about it.

In this momento of my life I'm really interested in art and Science, the concept of knowledge and how it is constructed by the beings/objects and how the movement fo the body can create memory and knowledge.
My life is my Art and the memory/knowledge my matter. I decide to stop everything else to start this art/knowledge's proyect

I do love to learn and teach as much as I can about everything that concern the humanity. I like classical music, electronic music, jazz, well in general I love any kind of music and I'm actually taking music lessons. I also enjoy to read and it's one of my most important source of ideas but not the only one, everything is knowledge, everything is communication, everything is a subject.

Some of my favorite autors are Arnold Hauser, Rodolfo Llinas, Yukio Mishima, Borges, Tostoi, Poe, Wilde, Chejov... a lot of writers... I constantly discover others that are of my interest.

I hope I can meet you, you who are reading my profile right now, it would be really nice and useful in my investigation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to generate the encounter/dialogue/relationship with the other subject/object around the world, moving myself/my body as an estrategy to build memory/knowledge/myself. The possibility of share memories/knowledge and to comunicate with the other creates the oportunity of grow as humanbeings. That's why I think it's better to go to the place where the people live, help them always in their way or to be helped, helping them/me to construct the I and the self of each other.

Interests

Art, music, architecture, science, literature, films, exercise, outfit, travel.
I do like classical music, electronic music, jazz, well in general I love any kind music and I am actually taking piano lessons. I also enjoy to read: some of my favorite autors are Yukio Mishima, Borges, Tostoi, Poe, Wilde, Chejov, well and many others... I constantly discover others as good as them.
In this moment I´m making a research about brain, body, movement and art. Reading and writing about Art/science and doing some pieces occasionally. Travel is a way to make investigation.

Music, Movies, and Books

May be my favorite music is Jazz music.
I love the literature, one of my favorite author is Jorge Luis Borges and one of my favorite movies could be Old Boy from the director Chan-wook Park, but i thing that I don't have a favorite because I love a lot of movies, directors, writers and other things, so I just say one, but I do love artists in general, art is life.
