Hecho en Catia / Made in Catia

No por un azar del destino fue el antepenúltimo día del mes de las flores y justo a la mitad de una década, el 29 de mayo de 1985 cuando salí a flote a este mundo, rodeado de personas que me querían, atendían, y criaban sin reparo a excesos, dentro de todo era un ser lleno de todo cuanto es lo lógico para una humilde familia venezolana.

Not for a chance of fate was the last day of the month of the flowers and just in the middle of a decade, on May 29, 1985 when I went afloat to this world, surrounded by people who loved me, attended me, and raised without I repair excesses, inside it was a being full of everything that is logical for a humble Venezuelan family.

Conocía Caracas en mis primeros días gracias al carrito popular alemán que tenía La Catira (mi mamá); rodábamos e iba identificando formas y colores desde el Oeste capitalino hasta muchos de los rincones de esta preciosa ciudad, fui reconociendo calles, parques, esquinas y redomas en territorio de Etnias originarias denominadas Toromaimas desaparecidas hace más de 300 años.

I knew Caracas in my early days thanks to the popular German car that the Blonde “La Catira” (my mom) had; We rolled and was identifying shapes and colors from the western capital to many of the corners of this beautiful city, I was recognizing streets, parks, corners and squares in the territory of ethnic groups called Toromaimas disappeared more than 300 years ago.

Conocí la montaña, la playa, y un espacio muy importante, las plazas, esas ágoras que en nuestra mente generan un patrón de convivencia que no se equipara a cualquiera de los espacios de encuentro, lugares que fueron generando una cantidad de vínculos, afinidades y experiencias con personas muy especiales que sirvieron de referencia en mi manera de ver la vida.

I met the mountain, the beach, and a very important space, the squares, those agoras that in our mind generate a pattern of coexistence that does not match any of the meeting spaces, places that were generating a number of links, affinities and experiences with very special people who served as a reference in my way of seeing life.

Seguí creciendo unos años más y en el año 1999 seguí recorriendo la ciudad encima de otro vehículo un poco más sencillo y modesto, una tabla de madera modelo y patente estadounidense, con cuatro ruedas, rodamientos veloces y bien engrasados.

I continued to grow a few more years and in 1999 I continued touring the city on top of another slightly more simple and modest vehicle, a wooden table model and US patent, with four wheels, fast and well greased bearings.

Ya erradicado en la zona sur del centro de la capital venezolana frecuentaba plazas donde la patineta era un elemento dinámico y armónico que danzaba con la arquitectura que sublimaba los espacios, con los años supe que el nombre de uno de los principales espacios era un complejo patrimonial llamado Paseo de la Nacionalidad, (Los Próceres).

Already eradicated in the southern zone of the center of the Venezuelan capital, I frequented squares where the skateboard was a dynamic and harmonious element that danced with the architecture that sublimated the spaces, with the years I knew that the name of one of the main spaces was a heritage complex called Nationality Walk, (The Próceres).

El Arte de Patinar / The Art of Skateboarding

Seguí rodando y llegue al vínculo sagrado con el arte, cada página de esas revistas, cada video magazine que nos mostraba como era la cultura del Skateboarding en su propio seno y promovido en todo el mundo; finalizaban los años noventa y las pinceladas de este estilo de vida delineó los próximos veinte años.

I kept on rolling and I reached the sacred link with art, every page of those magazines, every video magazine that showed us how the Skateboarding culture was in its own bosom and promoted worldwide; the nineties ended and the brushstrokes of this lifestyle outlined the next twenty years.

Hoy en el año 2020 puedo decir que la patineta determinó la manera como veo las calles, el tipo de asfalto, el ancho que tienen, el grado de inclinación de sus pendientes; en donde otros ven unas escaleras yo percibo un gran reto siempre por resolver, una sensación en lo más profundo de mi ser donde no puedo prescindir de las cuatro ruedas y la tabla para liberarme y volver, anhelando el equilibrio.

Today in 2020 I can say that the skateboard determined the way I see the streets, the type of asphalt, the width they have, the degree of inclination of their earrings; where others see some stairs I perceive a great challenge always to be solved, a sensation in the deepest part of my being where I cannot do without the four wheels and the board to free myself and return, yearning for balance.

Concibo el arte como el medio propicio para expresar y catalizar toda la energía que esta urbe tan dinámica y envolvente me transmiten desde bocetos, dibujos, collages, poesía, prosa, música, video-arte, historias ficcionadas, micro-documentales entre otros lenguajes artísticos, todas herramientas que me permiten transmitir en esencia como percibo mi interrelación con el mundo exterior, parte de mi propia naturaleza.

I conceive art as the propitious means to express and catalyze all the energy that this dynamic and enveloping city transmits to me, they are sketches, drawings, collages, poetry, prose, music, video-art, fictional stories, micro-documentaries among other languages artistic, all tools that allow me to transmit in essence how I perceive my interrelation with the outside world, part of my own nature.
