CURRENT MISSION

The human mind is like a parachute. It functions best when it is open

ABOUT ME

I'm a boy from Barcelona and I conider myself as a outgoing guy. Art is one of my passions. I love painting and drawing, actually that's mostly what I did during my art degree in University. I lately do a blog with my art stuff which is victorsivera.bIogspot.com.es and I also love photography, even though I'm not so strong into that :-) I've also had the opportunity to live in France and Italy, and I'd like to live abroad again.

PHILOSOPHY

I like this quote of Chogyam Trungpa:

"Any perception can connect us to reality, properly and fully.
What we see doesn't have to be pretty, particulary; we can appreciate anything that exists.
There is some prinicple of magic in everything, some living quality.
Something living, something real, is taking place in everything"
