Primavera

This painting is a mere personal whim.
Art Deco has always handled my hands at the time of creation.
Lempicka was, so to speak, the one who led me to paint. This is my small tribute to the Painting (Spring) that made me want to be an artist in the first place.

With all due respect and gratitude wherever you are Tamara.

Collecting Art

I have recently been in contact with many artists from every corner of the planet, I've been immersed in a fantastic journey that has led me to discover new sources of inspiration. One of these artists is Terry Cyr, an American photographer dedicated to the nude male, he is currently directing a project called "The Naked Man Project" or as he explains in his own words "One man's exploration in Finding Himself and His search for light, beauty, desire and art"

A few days ago he asked me a couple of questions to see different views regarding on how other artists find inspiration and how our evolution in art has been though the years, you can read my and the other artists answers here. Take your time to see this exciting project and hope you will find it as inspirational as I do.

This is one of my recent works, titled "Unleashing Freedom" you can buy this and other works here.

The things I think today.

It’s amazing how religion use many things to create fear, an institution that prides itself on providing love is in charge of scare us even with our own body, undermining the female figure, making us believe that it is okay if a woman is naked because they teach us to see women as an object, then a naked man is not okay because is comparable to a woman so that makes it even worse, we should redefine our values and understand that the human body is the most beautiful and pure thing for our own kind, and take away from our genitals the stigma of sin, destruction and degradation.

When we learn to celebrate the miracle of our specie, then this world will be different.

Love is like a cigarette

You know you held my heart aglow
Between your finger tips
And just like a cigarette
I never knew the thrill of life until I touched your lips
Then just like a cigarette
Love seemed to fade away and leave behind ashes of regret.

Never Ending

This piece breathes and in every exhale I can hear softly "Party´s over" by Yuji Ohno playing.

and keeps playing...even Yuji  says the party´s over... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghqmrqq4zNI

While in the locker room

The public bath has always been a place for encounters, places with a big  history to tell. Way back in Roman times a bath was an important social meeting place, and they were used to relax, to discuss political issues or just to make clear who was who in Roman society. Not only for the Roman men the bathhouse was popular, but for all men around the mayor cities  in the old world, later in the 19th century the Bathhouses started to be popular among gay men in America, when being an homosexual was illegal and a crime against nature, they became places for casual encounters, where no one judge, where everybody looked for the same thing. The popularity of Bathhouses never fell out of fashion, even today are popular places for men all around the mayor cities, men who look for some time to relax or to spend  a nice time with other men, just as in the old world.

Some things never change.

 

Sunrise

Intimacy is the feeling of being closed to someone, is when two people share their emotions, fears and desires, able to be emotionally open with one another, able to genuinely trust one another, and feel able to take the risk of being vulnerable, share quite moments or be able to watch someone peacefully sleeping next to you, a universal need that keep us away from loneliness. 

*Sex and intimacy are not the same thing. Sex without intimacy can be very unrewarding, just as sex with intimacy can be deeply passionate and fulfilling. It is also possible to experience intimacy without sex.

Not loosing you

Next Monday the hard work will start. I´m in the post production of the independent film "Para no perderte" In which I worked as Co director/writer. I´m really exited about WOOOOHOOO!

If you want to check out some pics from the shooting you can catch them at my twitter @ehirano1 or right here on my twitter widget at the right.


This old Illustration it´s just to continue with my last subject on my previous post.
I haven´t post it here on my blog, so... I decided to show it because it tells more now than it did before on my site.

*For gay marriage and adoption rights in Mexico*

Love and religion

Mexico approved gay marriage and as some say “Today the final barriers have come down.” unfortunately some groups (especially religious) started a war against this law and its followers, and after really sad and stupid public declarations a few people end up with a lawsuit because of their comments of dishonour, degradations and discrimination against the gay community.

Ironic thing about those who are supposed to spread God´s love and the only thing they give is "the word of hate"

Love is love no matter the religion, believes or culture, love is a basic need that every living soul in this planet needs. The right to love and to be loved is for everyone.

Go west, life is peaceful there
