Vicente Huidobro (L)

¿Qué ángel malo se paró en la puerta de tu sonrisa
Con la espada en la mano?
¿Quién sembró la angustia en las llanuras de tus ojos como el adorno de un dios?
¿Por qué un día de repente sentiste el terror de ser?
Y esa voz que te gritó vives y no te ves vivir
¿Quién hizo converger tus pensamientos al cruce de todos los vientos del dolor?
Se rompió el diamante de tus sueños en un mar de estupor
Estás perdido Altazor
Solo en medio del universo
Solo como una nota que florece en las alturas del vacío
No hay bien no hay mal ni verdad ni orden ni belleza
¿En dónde estás Altazor?

La nebulosa de la angustia pasa como un río
Y me arrastra según la ley de las atracciones
La nebulosa en olores solidificada huye su propia soledad
Siento un telescopio que me apunta como un revólver
La cola de un cometa me azota el rostro y pasa relleno de eternidad
Buscando infatigable un lago quieto en donde refrescar su tarea ineludible

Altazor morirás Se secará tú voz y serás invisible
La Tierra seguirá girando sobre su órbita precisa
Temerosa de un traspiés como el equilibrista sobre el alambre
que ata las miradas del pavor
En vano buscas ojo enloquecido
No hay puerta de salida y el viento desplaza los planetas
Piensas que no importa caer eternamente si se logra escapar
¿No ves que vas cayendo ya?
Limpia tu cabeza de prejuicio y moral
Y si queriendo alzarte nada has alcanzado
Déjate caer sin parar tu caída sin miedo al fondo de la sombra
Sin miedo al enigma de ti mismo
Acaso encuentres una luz sin noche
Perdida en las grietas de los precipicios

Cae
Cae eternamente
Cae al fondo del infinito
Cae al fondo del tiempo
Cae al fondo de ti mismo
Cae lo más bajo que se pueda caer
Cae sin vértigo
A través de todos los espacios y todas las edades
A través de todas las almas de todos los anhelos y todos los naufragios
Cae y quema al pasar los astros y los mares
Quema los ojos que te miran y los corazones que te aguardan
Quema el viento con tu voz
El viento que se enreda en tu voz
Y la noche que tiene frío en su gruta de huesos

Cae en infancia
Cae en vejez
Cae en lágrimas
Cae en risas
Cae en música sobre el universo
Cae de tu cabeza a tus pies
Cae de tus pies a tu cabeza
Cae del mar a la fuente
Cae al último abismo de silencio
Como el barco que se hunde apagando sus luces
(Excerpto de Altazor, Vicente Huidobro)

Blanco y Negro

El negro:

El negro es la nada sin oportunidades, la nada inerte luego de apagarse el sol. Un silencio eterno sin porvenir ni expectativas. Es una orquesta haciendo una pausa definitiva para finalizar una pieza musical, luego de la cual comienza otro universo. Es el color más insonoro, a su lado cualquier otro color suena con energía y certeza, incluso los de menor resonancia. Representa la tristeza más honda y es la la muerte de la esperanza, es lo desconocido aunque revela que en algun momento algo puede aparecer e impresionarnos.



El blanco:

Es considerado a veces un no-color (principalmente por los impresionistas, quienes no encuentran blanco en la naturaleza) es el emblema de un mundo en el que se ha extinguido el color como atributo sustancial. Influye sobre el espíritu como un silencio inmenso, suena interiormente como un no-sonido de paz. Comparable con las pausas musicales que sólo interrumpen temporalmente el desarrollo de una frase o de un contenido, sin concluir el proceso definitivamente. No es un silencio inerte sino, en cambio, cargado de posibilidades, pudiera inclusive ser interpretado como un silencio que puede ser comprendido. Junto a él todos los colores pierden fuerza casi hasta desaparecer, quedando un tono frágil, mitigado. Es el color de la alegría auténtica y de la pureza inmaculada. Es el color de la esperanza, es mi color favorito porque me imagino que al morir, vere este color. ( inspirado en la teoría de los colores de Kandinski)

Essay: Colors and emotions by me

As Pablo Picasso said “colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions”. Color is defined as the aspect of the appearance of objects and light sources that may be described in terms of hue, lightness, and saturation for objects and hue, brightness, and saturation for light sources. (Merriam Webster, 2007) Although people usually differentiate things by its color, and relate each color to a similar meaning, they usually don’t know what each color communicates. There are many unknown theories that relate each color to emotions. However, people usually don’t know that colors have psychological associations.
First, it’s necessary to mention that the communicative properties of a color are divided in two categories: natural associations and psychological or cultural associations. The associations of nature colors are universal and timeless (Morton, 2007). For example, the fact that blue is the color of sky.
On the other hand, psychological color association may be a result of traditions, celebrations, political, historical, trends, religion and myths, and more (Morton, 2007). In fact, blue is considered the color of royalty, green with burgesses and money, etc.
In addition, according to the psychiatric Carl Jung “colors express the main psychic functions of man”. Psychological or cultural associations of color can be unrelated to natural associations and varies in different cultures. For example, green’s associations with nature communicate growth, fruitfulness, freshness and ecology. However, green is related with good luck, seasickness, money and greed, all of these have nothing to do with green plants. “These associations arise from a complex assortment of sources”(Morton, 2007).
As well, color meaning may have both positive and negative associations. Although blue is the color of the sky, it can be symbolic of sadness or stability. Also, Red has two meanings. It’s the color of fire and blood, it is an energizing, aggressive and bold color and it’s used for “STOP” signs around the world.
Therefore, Successful designers and painters required an awareness of how and why colors communicate meaning. According to the abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky who created one of the famous theories about color " colors have a purely physical effect and a purely spiritual effect". For example, he associated colors such as yellow to the sound of a trumpet because it projects so much energy and aggressiveness that it hurts the eye after a while. He also explained that “It may be paralleled in human nature, with madness, not with melancholy or hypochondriacal mania, but rather with violent raving lunacy”.
Other Kandinsky’s example about colors related emotions and sounds to music. For this painter, Green it is the most restful color that exists. On exhausted men this restfulness has a beneficial effect, but after a time it becomes wearisome and it also was the bourgeoisie’s colors. On the other hand he mentioned that the silence of black is the silence of death and it’s compared to final pause in music.
As illustration of this theory, when asked to approximate the importance of color when buying products, 84.7 percent of the total respondents think "that color accounts for more than half among the various factors important for choosing products".(Seoul International Color Expo, 2004)
All in all, colors are extremely important because they communicate meanings and had physiological effects on our minds. Through these examples about color meaning and associations with emotions, it’s evident that people get strongly influenced by colors which demonstrate why color matters.

Quiero ser un arbol

A veces se desnudan, otras veces se visten con hojas, flores o frutas, los pajaros les cantan todos los días, disfrutan la lluvia, el día, la noche, el silencio, el viento y la nieve. Son fuertes, viven el calor del verano, el frío del inviero, el otoño y la primavera por muchos años. Sin embargo, odiaría estar en medio de la ciudad, rodeada de trafico, problemas, humanos y contaminación con riesgo a que me talaran...

¡Qué envidia, quiero vivir en esa calle!...pero cuando tenga mi casa, tendré un jardín espectacular y sembraré muchos jeje
