Oil paintings

About four years ago I made my first oil painting, at that time I had art classes in my high school and a very good teacher, who with great patience taught me this painting technique, as well as many others.
Since then I have not stopped painting whenever I have the chance, because it is a very good way to relax, express feelings and occupy time well.
I remember that when I started I had a little insecurity with technique and methodology, I felt very limited, but eventually over time, I saw that it was only insecurities, which I could leave behind thanks to practice and perseverance.
Last year I had the opportunity to join another painter, to be able to make an exhibition of our works, in which we presented around fifteen works each, with the name of "Strokes and gestures", which was exhibited in the House of culture from the city of Illapel for about a month and that had great audience attendance.
Today I'm still painting but I only do it occasionally since the university does not give me time to invest in things that I really like, such as art, music, writing, or many other things. Either way, these are things that I hope I will never stop doing.

Food and health

In particular I think that food is very important for our health. Currently the food industry generates a number of possibilities that are totally accessible to most of us. This seems to be worrisome, but the problem is that they are mostly distributing ultra-processed foods, and many books of refined sugars. The easy accessibility to these is what undoubtedly has led to the current rates of obesity and malnutrition, which in turn reflects a major health problem.
On the other hand, it is possible to recognize that organic foods are a little harder to get, than what more ways to increase their production, or cultivate in our own homes.
I believe that healthy eating leads us to feel better and to cope better in our lives. In this sense, I think that the food is based on plants in the most recommended, and that is why I usually choose vegetarian menus. Among my favorite foods are the vegetable stews. I also enjoy fruits a lot and I like them mainly in juices.
I really like going to the fair to be able to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables and be amazed with their varieties, textures and colors.

Life as a constant learning

I've always loved learning new things, all of them, I think we have infinite learning possibilities and we can not miss them.
He learned to do many things, such as manual tasks and artistic work, I can say that he left many things half done, I think my room is full of things he learned, but not necessarily finished, for example. fabrics, embroideries, paintings, sculptures, among others. I believe that learning is not only learning something, but also going further, using that same knowledge in other ways.
Something that I would like to learn now is Danza Afro, I think it is very liberating to learn because it implies a reconnection with your own body, with your being and your feeling.
Also, something he wanted to do for a long time is to learn how to weave in the Andean loom, or Mapuche loom.
Another thing I would like to do is ride and climb, I am passionate about extreme sports and there is a lot that I would like to practice. The only problem to do some things that I would like to learn is time. I have always criticized the academy for totally absorbing all our time, as being a student a very large part of my time has been invested in just studying, and I am very happy about the things that I would really like to do.

ALL WOMEN AGAINST ALL VIOLENCE!


"Feminism takes over the world." This is the phrase that I see in the television news before leaving my house, it leads me to immediately think about the current reality and how the different situations experienced in the last time have led me to question the different problems to which day by day we face each other as women.
Today we are living a historical process that will generate important changes at the social level, because through the different actions we begin to make visible a problem for so many years normalized or hidden in public opinion.
It draws my attention that in parallel in so many places at the same time, we find ourselves with similar demands and denunciations, which leads me to think that this problem is evidently occurring at a general level throughout the world, which shows that we are many people facing each other to the same; the patriarchal society and machismo. This is why today more than ever we must raise our arms and say enough!
Now is when we must begin to go out to the streets to protest, we can not continue living with fear, we can not continue repressing ourselves and we can not continue accepting any kind of machismo, we must face all, all violence.
Today our struggle must be given everywhere, it must be given in ourselves, in our homes, it must be given in our closest circle, it must be given in our places of work or study, it must be given in the streets and in everything place.

Solidarity among women is the strongest tool we have in our hands to combat patriarchy and machismo

ALL WOMEN AGAINST ALL VIOLENCE!

My first day at university


Last year at the university and the memory that was very strange comes to the first day, I feel very lonely and miserable, in the middle of many new people. I remember that it was very difficult for me to converse with people because I was a little simile person, but I could still recognize the people I had previously shared with the summer school that had been held in February of that year.


I remember that I was very anxious to know how the first classes, had a lot of expectation with everything related to the university environment.

I remember that at the beginning of the classes, many teachers, questions, the reason, why study, Anthropology, and why many asked for those who came from other regions, as an important factor.


I remember that at that time I had my ideas completely clear, because I had worked hard to get to this university to study, and I knew very well that it was not easy. In those moments I was totally sure that I would choose the mention of Archeology, which was why I had gotten there. I must accept that, on the contrary, I was largely unaware that the other two mentions are focused on: Physical Anthropology and Social Anthropology.


At the moment I can look back and see myself there, so disoriented in so many ways, and I can think about what I am now, everything I have learned and everything I have lived, all the experiences have experienced.

Good Friends

My friend and I.

Well, I known to my friend Nathalie since 2013, she is from Mincha Norte, a little rural town.  She study Veterinary and loves the animals, she have five dogs, three cats and a chicken. She was my classmate in the secondary school and we have many beautiful experiences, because we study and share our homework.  My friend and I share a love of music, the nature and the outdoor life. This is an important part of our life’s, because is the activity that our enjoy more, we love travel and practice trekking and many others outdoor sports. All summers vacations she go to my house and with many others friends go to camp near of the river or the mountain.

Since we study in Santiago, we cannot see frequently, but ever that we have time to go out any place and speak about our life’s and the university problems …. Around Once a month I meet up with my friend and us. I think that the most important between our, is the trust, because with this we can speak anything, cry or laugh.  My friend is a wonderful person J

University life and what we would like to do

One of my favorite things in life is playing the guitar, I usually practice for 30 minutes every day after I call my house, I know some songs and I enjoy this hobby because it helps me lower my stress.

I usually find it difficult to sing or play the guitar in front of people, but I still try. y start whit this since 2017, and I like very much to play songs of Violeta Parra, Victor Jara, Manuel Garcia, and other singers dr the new Chilean song, because I think they are important elements within our culture.

In this semester I would like to learn a lot about history and the different social movements, as well as to be able to delve a little deeper into ethnohistory. I would also like to develop some time related to art, such as painting or drawing.

I think that although I would like to do many things, the problem is in the organization of my time, because although I have time to play guitar, I do not have much time to do the other things that I would like. 

I think that although it is up to us to organize time well, I think that the academic activity is too demaciated and it takes us away from what we would really like to do.
