Hello, friends and lovers of the visual arts.
Today I'm back to share this sketch, also included in my Everyday Speech series, which, on this occasion, connects my emotional universe with fragility.
Sometimes it happens that our spirit is not prepared when we expose ourselves to the actions of others, and then the influence of others and circumstances can break our will and spirit. Although we don't break completely, there are fissures that are closely related to the concept of how vulnerable we are or how we feel.
Incidentally, I made this drawing, a sort of catharsis, and I also relate it to one of the songs I love most, by my favorite musician and performer, Sting. So this also functions as an illustration, translating what the lyrics and music of Fragile inspire in me.
In this self-portrait, I describe myself as a piece of stained glass, holding a red bird, relating to my passions and because my soul is inclined to love birds with all their symbolism, which, in addition, also adds meaning to the discourse behind the image.
In addition to the process, which I show below, I leave you with the lyrics of Fragile.
I hope you enjoy this proposal.
I embrace you with all my light.

Hola, amigos y amantes de las artes visuales.
Hoy regreso para compartirles este boceto, también incluido en mi serie Discurso Cotidiano y que, en esta ocasión conecta mi universo emocional con la fragilidad.
A veces sucede que no tenemos el espíritu preparado al exponernos a acciones ajenas, entonces la incidencia del otro, de las circunstancias pueden resquebrajar nuestra voluntad y ánimo. Aunque no nos rompemos del todo, existen fisuras que bien se relacionan con el concepto de lo vulnerables que somos o nos sentimos.
A propósito, realicé este dibujo, suerte de catarsis, y además lo relaciono con una de las canciones que más amo, de mi músico e intérprete favorito, Sting. Entonces este también funciona en calidad de ilustración para la que traduzco lo que me provocan letra y música de Fragile.
En autorretrato, me describo como una pieza de vitral y sosteniendo un ave roja, relativo a mis pasiones y porque mi alma se inclina a amar a los pájaros con toda su simbología que, por añadidura, también aporta sentido al discurso tras la imagen.
Además del proceso, que muestro a continuación, les dejo la letra de Fragile.
Espero que disfruten de esta propuesta.
Les abrazo con toda la luz.
Fragile
Sting
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening Sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are.
