A painting that brings the memory of that moment when the storm arrived...

'Storm in the Parana River Delta" watercolor 21× 31 cm. Serie Season's landscapes - small format.

Some time ago I was in the Delta, near Buenos Aires, when a storm unexpectedly hit. I didn't have any art materials with me. I just managed to do a couple of quick pencil sketches and some color notes before the strong wind and the rain started.
Those small quick sketches became the basis for this painting.
I tried to catch that moment immediately before the thunder, the stillness of the water and the silence around me.

Storm means not necessarily destruction, but renovation and rebirth.
What do you think about it? How do you feel in the storm?

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL TANGO DAY!... Mixed media "La Milonga"

International Tango Day 11 December

commemorating the birthday of the tango singer Carlos Gardel, and the musician and composer Julio de Caro. 

HAPPY TANGO´S DAY TO ALL WHO LOVE TANGO !

This mixed technique, 50 x 70 cm. combines gouache, watercolor, colour pencils. It was created in 1997 intending to represent the atmosphere of a real milonga in a satiric way.

 It´s a hommage to two of my first tango teachers Roberto Contreras and Maria Lemos, who appear in the scene. 

It´s also a hommage to Carlos Gardel, a singer that brought me to tango with the nostalgy in his voice. 

It´s a hommage to the thousands of musician whose music I have danced to. 

And finally it´s a hommage to all tango dancers, specially those old "milongueros" that inspired all new generations of dancers, and who were so generous sharing their knowledge to everybody. Thanks to them Tango has survived many storms, and will survive current storm as well. 

HAPPY TANGO DAY TO ALL WHO LOVE TANGO!
