Steffening!!!

Cris posting today? On Monday? GOSH. Apocalypse is coming soon!
I almost die yesterday night trying to make my mind keep something about History for today's exam. After 3 coffees I think it worked correctly enough to let me answer all the questions.

So well, let's start out.
Today, Im afraid, I'm not coming with more drawings, or not drawing of mine. This has mainly two reasons. My computer decided do explode last week so I don't have photographs of my drawings and I won't have time to make them untill next week. Secondly, this week we are not talking about my drawings nor my feelings this time.
So let me explain. Our Boss - Wila- want us to make an interview this week to a person who knows about the subject we are talking about.
As we are talking about ways of expression and my participation here developes the drawings field, I had to look for someone who could give me a new pint of view here.

Knowing this, I tried to contact Murakami but he did not pick up the phone and when I tried with Van Gogh, it lookes like he had hearing problems.
So I finally called this amazing girl, Estefania, who is one of the most creative girls I've never known. I wish I had her imagination so I was truly looking forward talking to her about art so I could see in a deeper way what runs through her mind whie creating.

Let's place us.

Estefania is still student of ''A'' levels. I knew her during a school party and from that moment on I knew she was an artist.

Q.So tell us! You've been drawing since you have memory, Do you think you have a gift, and do you think it will follow you untill your dying day?A. I think never! ever, ever, ever could stop drawing or painting. It will always be something tat helps me sharing feelings, that is by my side and above all, somethin I like doing.


Q.What is DRAWING for you?A. For me, drawing is more than making line on a shit, is more than put down in a paper what I see...It is another world.When I pick up a pencil in front of a white paper...I feel fear. I'm afraid of being mistaken, of not being able to show waht I feel, of wasting that piece of paper. But then, I forget about all the rest. I stop, close my eyes, breath and start.
That's the moment when everything, what I feel, what I believe, what inspires me...makes something that for me is the greatest thing, because it's mine and mne alone, because I felt it and it's a aprt of me. It's something I've lived.

Q. When do you know is worth drawing an idea you have and when it is not?A. I just don't know. Something calls my atention or inspires me. When that idea or person I'm looking at fulfils me and I think 'Wow' so you suddenly know what to do to make justice to that thing or person and show how much you care. And this way, I made hundred and hundred of drawing, them all different.

Q. What do you fancy more to draw?A. In fact, tha't a quite difficult question that I'm sure will have thousands of answers depending on who is asked. For instance, I do seek for inspiration on feelings so Abstract drawings show way better my feelings. When I want a glance, and smile or whatever, I can use photography, as is something real, when I want a story I do write one but never gets to be as emotional as drawing.

Q. And what is the feeling you think that can be best expressed through drawings?A. Wow, that's not easy. If we where talking about expressing feeling by symbols, love without hesitating. You know, heart shapes, chocolate, roses... But talking ina afair way, expressing them how thay really are what the truly mean, all feeling could be tied.

Q. Do you fancy other ways of expression?A. Yeah, I truly do. In fact, as my drawing skills are quite limitated I complete them by using other ways of epression such as photography, writing, poesy or sculpture that allow me expressing myself the way I need to.

Q. What technique do you like most?A. I honestly, love drawing just using my hands and I susually do it using tempera. Feeling the paint in your hands while being your own drawing tool it's just brilliant. I also facy pencil or charcoal. Well, anyway, every way is fine as allows me expressing.

Q.And finnally, which of all the ways of expression you said before, it's the best one for you and why would you recommend this way of expression and not the other.A. I don't think I could make any choice as for me they all make a pack helping to find a great pic. But anyway, I think the best is gathering all ways I said.
This way, there's always a feeling. An expresion.

Well, you can see. People see the world their own way. So just screem yours right now!
By the way, thank you to Steff for letting me make and publish this questions. She made my day =)
And of course all drawing posted this week belong to her, so watch them carefuly as they are brilliant.


I hope you enjoy this so far, becouse I'm returning next week with more!
