AREA: Poetry
Finally I advanced to another poem from my project!!
Here we are with the first poem with no design from my friend designer.
Poem # 10/ Poema # 10
Título original / Original title:
El pintor, el poeta, el escritor / The painter, the poet, the writer
Introduction (Feel free to skip if you’ve read previous poems in the series)
As I’ve mentioned before, this series — Alchemy of Poetic Words / Alquimia de Palabras Poéticas — is a project I began in 2013. It’s a quiet collection of poems born from memory, emotion, and fleeting moments, carefully gathered over the years in my notebooks. Back then, I dreamed of turning them into a book, each paired with original illustrations by Salvador Jaramillo, a gifted designer and colleague from Mexico. Salvador illustrated works by Indigenous writers, and his art carries a deep, poetic connection to Mexican culture.

Salvador design’s are ended. Then, I am doing the experiment this time with the help of AI to generate an image for this poem number 10.
Therefore, here we are with poem #10.
Spanish Version
El pintor, el poeta, el escritor
El pintor habla con sus cuadros,
el poeta canta con sus palabras,
el escritor pinta con sus frases …
Image generated with qwen.ai, prompt from author
English version
The painter, the poet, the writer
The painter speaks through his paintings,
the poet sings through his words,
the writer paints with his sentences…
The Experiment
I confess — I really like the result from AI. And so begins the experiment: 100% illustration with AI’s help. Not bad as a complementary image for my poem in this case; it adds a touch of surrealism.
I was procrastinating my Poem #10 as I was feeling incomplete without designs. Well, the result in this one encourages me to continue on my poems.
Thank you for reading — and for holding space for these small, searching into a dream!
