My Daughter's Sef-Protrait

Art Explosion (literally)

Greetings, everybody

Some days ago, during a long and hot afternoon without electricity, we were surprised at the unusual silence in the house. Our daughter, Manuela Valentina, who is always doing something noisy around the house, was nowhere to be found (she makes sure her phone's battery will have some charge to keep the music loud during the blackouts). We went to her room and were shocked at what we saw. If you have followed my blog, you should know this daughter of mine has been crazy about drawing and singing. She has been producing all kinds of art, but thus far she has restrained her projects to notebook-size canvas.

In a country where paint is so expensive most houses have not been painted in years (here the bolivarian socialism was very effective at equalizing us so that noone will feel embarrased because the neighbor's house looks better), to "ruin" a wall out of sheer need of expression is close to a federal crime.

We, however, were ecstatic!

This picture was actually taken after the "disaster". She looked like a madwoman who had fallen on a giant painter's palette. We were so shocked at what her grandmother would say about the wall that we did not know whether we should hug her and take pictures or rush her to the closest embassy.

When asked about the meaning of her work, she simply said: This is me!
She used a small brush, her hands and her face to apply the paint.

So, we asked our dear friend @eleidap (Thank you so much!) to help us edit this video. Hope you like it. We loved the result!

That's she in the background playing and singing one of her new favorite songs: Queen's Love of my Life.

Thanks for your visit.

Wow, really super artsy your daughter!

Thanks. She is indeed.
Our daughters have been our main motivation to keep fighting. They are so full of hope and energy. There is so much they want to do and even though we cannot provide them with what they want, need and deserve, we have been trying to build around their vibe a network of support to keep encouraging their passions. Whether it is sports or arts, we want them to know that they can do it and keep doing it until better winds take them as far as they please.

That's such a wonderful way of living, not bond by pressure, blessing to you and family @hlezama.

Greeting @hlezama

Excellent work, preparing the relay generation

FANTABULOUS Power House Creatives family!

Thank you, guys. I could not be happier to be part of this great family!

This is so fantastic, @hlezama. You must be so proud! Your daughter is very talented. What a great way to deal with life's challenges -- pouring her energy into art and music!

Hi, @jayna. Thanks for stoping by.
Yep, I am.
I admire her courage and adaptability. Most kids drive venezuelan parents crazy demanding things we can't possibly affrord because they see on tv how kids elsewhere live and have fun. They turn rebelious and disrespectful because of the frustration produced by so many NOs.
We have not had that and that makes her special.

I hope she can be a model for her peers!

I adore your daughter's creativity and what a great voice she has!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for stopping by. She turns 15 tomorrow, actually!
I am working on another post about her. She is a great girl, blessed with many talents and a big heart.

PS. Thanks for the ocd nomination, just learned about it. It means a lot to us.
