about

La imagen de los arboles es quizá una de los primeros motivos que me inspiraron a expresarme por medio del arte. Cuando veía fotos o pinturas de éstos sentía una atracción muy singular. Ver la textura de sus hojas, la forma completa del árbol, la textura de su corteza, saber que en muchos de ellos había nidos, el color degradado que tenían las hojas de algunos árboles, sentir la presencia del viento a través del movimiento de sus hojas, mirar la luz del sol en el atardecer a través de sus ramas, en fin que eran muchos los motivos que me atraían para poder estar cerca de algún árbol justo en la frescura de su sombra.
Han sido muchos los árboles que he visto pero creo que los del campo, en la etapa de mi infancia, han sido los que más recuerdo, al punto que los he soñado en diferentes etapas de mi vida. Eran árboles que servían para darle sombra a la gente que trabajaba en el campo, pero también para separar los terrenos. Estos crecían junto a los surcos por los que corría el agua que abastecía los sembradíos.
Una de las imágenes que más me han impresionado es llegar a un pueblo que tenga una arboleda en su entrada y caminar debajo de esa bóveda de ramas a través del camino hasta llegar al pueblo. Otra más es mirar la luna llena a través de algún árbol. En algunos lugares los árboles han sido testigo del paso del tiempo.
Creo que existen muchas razones en mi vida para poder dejar testimonio de lo que me representan los árboles a través de la música.

The image of trees is perhaps one of the first reasons that inspired me to express myself through art. When I saw photos or paintings of these I felt a very unique attraction. See the texture of its leaves, the complete shape of the tree, the texture of its bark, know that in many of them there were nests, the degraded color that the leaves of some trees had, feel the presence of the wind through the movement of their leaves, looking at the sunlight at sunset through its branches, in short that there were many reasons that attracted me to be near a tree right in the freshness of its shadow.
There have been many trees that I have seen but I believe that those of the countryside, at the stage of my childhood, have been the ones I remember most, to the point that I have dreamed them at different stages of my life. They were trees that served to shade the people who worked in the field, but also to separate the land. These grew along the furrows that ran the water that supplied the crops.
One of the images that have impressed me the most is to reach a town that has a grove at its entrance and walk under that vault of branches across the road until we reach the town. Another one is to look at the full moon through some tree. In some places the trees have witnessed the passage of time.
I think there are many reasons in my life to be able to testify to what trees represent me through music.
