An artist that I admire

His name is Jose Guadalupe Posada he was a Mexican artist how lived during 1852 and 1913. He was kwnoun for his ilustrations, engravings and cartoons, his works ilustrate the popular culture of mexico, and mixed with social critique. He was considered a popular artist which showed since everyday life to the political affairs of Mexico.

His best known work was asosiated whit the popular celebratione knonw as Dia de los muertos, which is celebrated on 1 and 2 November. that days
people share with their dead in cemeteries. This artist celebrated dead,
using as reference the skull. To my is interesting that conception of the dead, and the relation whit the life. And he was creator of a new eaesthetics which makes a mixed the dead and the culture of his country.
 
To my his best work was the Catrina or Calavera garbancera, this was a copperplate engraving. In this work he refers to a type of person who appeared to be rich still poor, because of that the skeleton is only dressed with an elegant hat.
 
He is one of my favorite artist, I hope that enjoy his work.

The best holidays I ve had:



My best holidays was the last year. I have the best and most deserved vacation of my life. My friend Rose and I we went backpacking at Oruro Carnival in Bolivia, we stopped at Punta de Choros, there we camped two nights on the beach away from everything. Continued our journey to the city of Iquique, in there we was resived by a friend of Rose. We pass one night in Iquique, that night we went to the beach for drink beer and eat fries.
 

The next day in the morning we bought a bus ticket to Oruro, We traveled all that day and we got to the city that nigth. That night find a room to stay, the place was in the city center near the route of the carnival. We rest that night and the next morning that starts the Carnival.

 
 

The following days were colors, music and carnival. All kinds of characters celebrating and enjoying the music invaded the city with its happiness.
 
I think those were my best holidays for many reasons,but the most important it was my first vacation since I am a mother, so I get lots of rest.

 Republic of India.


 
 
Some day when I have a lot of money, I will travel to Republic of India. This country is rich in culture and landscapes, and hes local food is really delicious. It is also a country whit a lot of populations, where are different kinds of religions.



 
 
The Thart desert and Himalayas are a wonderful landscapes, their beauty is something that intrigues me. I think that this kind of places have certain magic and spirituality, that makes man more aware of the universe.

 
 
Another places that I will like visit is the Taj Mahal, this pieces of the architecture it was built by the emperor Shan Jahan , in honor of his wife when she died giving birth to one of his sons. A romantic and tragic  history who built this places of dreams.
