Hello, eSTEEMed friends, lovers of poetry and art...

In spite of the fact that in Venezuela not only have electrical service failures not ceased but also have increased and the connection to the Internet is more and more complicated, here I am again.

I have taken the following poem, that has always seemed to me very deep, from the PDF book ALEJANDRA PIZARNIK. Complete Poetry (1955-1972). It is in Spanish. This Argentine poet is one of my mentors in my own creative process and inspired me to do this little digital work.

The GIF with which I will illustrate the poem that I share with you today is the first of a series of artistic works in different formats that I intend to develop around a set of photos I made on the dazzling inflorescence of a bromeliad that recently burst into my little courtyard. I'm a passionate lover of bromeliads and a lot of them live with me. I think it's a very interesting subject from a graphic point of view and I'll call the serie BROMELIAN ART.

The first thing I did was to select one of the photos I took. I edited it with a Microsoft software installed in my computer:

Then I intervened graphically with the free software https://FireAlpaca, with which I made a sequence of four images with variations.

With them I built the gif and published it thanks to https://giphy.com/gifs/. Finally I put it in the mentioned page and well, it's somewhere in the digital world...

And the result is what you can see at the beginning of this post

I want to share this simple artistic work with all of you doing a little homage to Julia K. Ponsford, @juliakponsford, artist and curator, creative woman that from Canada has tried to give an important support from the Steem platform to those who venture into art. Her series of contests under the name of #artexplosion summons many excellent artists. Now that I am in search of new challenges in the world of digital art, I want to remember her with much affection and give her this illustrated poem.
