    “My take on the evolution of species” - A (mock) National Geographic interview.

    In true Darwinian style, I started studying plants that yet not exist but will soon be around. If he studied the evolution of our past I have the right to study the future… right?


    Here’s an excerpt of what my interview with National Geographic would be like:

    NG: So… you say you have studied the future of species? is that right?
    Me: Of course, look!
    NG: Yeah… Those look like doodles to me… are you serious?
    Me: What do you mean? Of course I am. I spent hours playing with my watercolors, and I hate wasting my time (I smiled and sort of closed my eyes as I tilted my head up towards my right, like my answer was the smartest thing this man had ever heard).
    NG: What scientific proof do you have that plants will evolve towards that level of personalization?
    Me: Well… they need to do something about their boring ways or they will completely be replaced by holograms. I already threw mine away.
    NG: That doesn’t mean they will start behaving like spoiled pets.
    Me: Yes, they can be very spoiled… and they will!
    NG: How long have you been working on these botanical experiments in your lab?
    Me: Lab?.. Nooo, that’s the bar.
    NG: So you have not been working on any botanical experiments?
    Me: But I’m planing to (once again I smiled).
    NG: Ok, thank you for your time, I am leaving now.
    Me: Will I be featured in the cover?

    A little birdie told me…

    We are all no one till someone thinks that we’re someone…

     Until there we are no one.

    A non-sensical Friday. Gotta go back to my brushes… Ciao!

    ¡Covadonga, estás pingada!

    - ¡Covadonga!
    - … (splash, splash)…

    ¡Cova!
    - … (squish, squish)…
    - ¡Covadongadonga, estas pingada!
    - … (still no reaction from Covadonga)…
    - A ver, a ver… a la casa Covadonga, que estas pingada ¡Covadonga! ¡A la casa!
    - (Covadonga, dripping in chlorine-infused water, slowly walks back, dragging her feet in obvious disagreement with the instructions given).



    Not Covadonga, this is Hanneli. http://www.hanneli.com/ …. This is Covadonga (up here).

    pingar v. intr.
      Colgar o estar suspendida una cosa: a ver si te arreglas el bajo de la falda porque te pinga por delante. Pender.
      Gotear una cosa o una persona que está empapada en algún líquido: llovía mucho y llegué a casa pingando.
      Brincar, saltar.

    Lyrics to a conversation

    - I saw you
    - What?
    - What do you mean what?
    - Where?
    To my right, at 3 o’clock!
    - That early??
    - NO! not the time…
    - Is it time to go? Already?
    - …
    - Huh..?
    - You never answer
    - I am, right now… shoot!
    - Bang!
    - NO! not the gun…
    - Who are they?
    - The bullets?
    - fghvnjk uiytreyduiogiuyubt

    (repeat chorus)

    Always with naked feet… gotta do something about it.


    Turning the nonsensical into a somethi-cal

    Sooo many questions…
    Wanna take a closer look?

    TA-DA moment in the making…

    Sugary shades of Summer

    As soon as I saw the series of candy colored pictures published by Dressed Up Alligators I KNEW I would use them as color inspiration to satisfy my sweet tooth (without the calories of course).
     


    Still in the works here…

    Truth becomes words become lies become absence

    A while ago I realized that nothing ever came as close to the way my mind+communication skills work as one of my favorite artist’s work. Words are definitely more powerful in their absence, therefore the more you say, the less value it seems to have, but the less you say and the more you keep the less I will know and understand.
    Magic don’t come cheap. We’re either drenched with knowledge or lost in its absence.
    “In Basquiat’s paintings, boys never become men, they become skeletons and skulls. Presence is expressed as absence…”
     
    Whatever these were, whatever they meant, they only exist now as support for what has been built above them, but their power is still there although they are no more.

    “Whose pair of wonderful legs are those?” 
    you must be thinking while scratching the top of your head with a frown and a HUGE imaginary question mark floating over it… C’est moi, l’artiste!

    More color blocking inspiration pour moi

    Color inspiration taken from Hungarian designer Dori Tomcsanyi’s Color Project 2010/2011. Such a thrill to chromatically emulate on the paper. The test here is to make the colors look as vibrant as they can.
