¡Hello #steemians!
My name is Arlette, I am photographer and visual artist, born and raced in the Caracas-Venezuela, where "everything is possible". Some periods of the year I visit Buenos Aires where my daughter lives. The past 10 years I've been dedicated to teach photography at La Escuela Foto Arte (EFA)
, with my husband and my EFA family. I am surviver, stubborn and control freak.
For me photography is a reflection, a way of seeing and experiencing life. Through it I adopt a way of facing my personal world, from which I abstract myself through a frontal, neutral and apparently unpleasant look. The temporal and the atemporal are themes that recur in my visual reflections, sometimes structured and sometimes from drifting, with fundamental stops in emptiness, solitude, identity and body. In my visual diaries I document myself under the magnifying glass of everyday life, sometimes as an experiment of affection for spaces or people, or as evidence of the passage of time.
¿What do I want to share with you here?
A little of everything, what I like, attracts me and love. How I live, what I have lived, my surroundings. My everyday life in the country of fury. After having worked with visual diaries for several years, with image and text #Steemit will be my new #VisualDiary
I also will share photography, visual art and movie facts and information.
This is me. Wherever I go I am a venezuelan and I am proud of it. I don't change the way I talk (sometimes I do), I smile, eat "arepas", dance "salsa" and clap when I am happy.
I live here. I introduce you to Caracas, or a vision of the troubled and convulsed Caracas. Smoke, barricades, flyers, political propaganda, protestants and asphalt.
This is the price of 45 litres of gasoline. It is 240 bolivars, or US$ 0,0009. See what I mean when a say that everything is possible here?
¡Thanks for reading!
