Merry Christmas!!! Love is all that matters.

Hi all,

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas. I've seen that the economy is making many sad this year, because they can't buy all what they wanted or make the lavish party they want, etc. What matters is the love, that's what Christmas is all about. Jesus was born in a manger; he wasn’t born in a mansion. What matters is all the love! Remember a hug doesn’t cost a thing J Merry Christmas!!!

Why I paint...

Someone asked me why I paint.

I paint because I feel free there. They’re no restrictions in ideas, thoughts, themes, forms, lines, colors… just freedom.

Art is freedom!
Yet I seek more, more than forms, more than words, more than colors in each painting, I seek answers. An answer to a thought, an idea, an emotion or question. And even more I seek to learn more, create more, feel more. Art is to me not only an expression but an understanding to everything we seek.

Very excited! New book!

Hi all,

I'm really excited, I'm finishing an inspirational book with some of my paintings. And it's taking a new route, really excited about it!!! Will tell you more, as soon as it's done.
Hope you all are good,
God Bless you all

Flower and Song by Rosalina Cantu for FIRST FRIDAY LAS VEGAS October 7

  FLOWER AND SONG 

                This new work of mine is related to my ancestors.  The Aztec artists painted what they called it “Flower and Song” (“In Xochitl In Cuicatl” is Nahuatl the language of the Aztecs, and many tribes in Mexico still); and it means that the Painting is the Flower, and the Poem is the Song. 

                When I started painting I always added a poem of the painting.  Now is time to be true to myself and you, and express to you what I love to do: “Flower and Song” “In Xochitl In Cuicatl”.

                          Hope you enjoy this art I made, that came from my heart to you.

  Hope

“Everybody has a dream…
Everybody loses hope sometime…
But, when you let love guide you;
And let simplicity be your philosophy;
Chaos will turn into balance.
And patience will catch up with you, and
Give you your dreams back.
But now! You’re free from your past and doubts!
So, give hope a little chance and be free to live your dreams."

Mountain

“The mountain kisses the wind as it passes by,
Smiles at the sun and salutes the ground.
Life it’s is purpose,
Life it’s her communion with God,
Life it’s her…
Mountain is life.”

Balance
“At the end of the day,
After all the questions,
All the doubts…
Balance is the answer!

Balance brings you peace;
Balance brings you happiness,
Balance brings you knowledge.
And most of all;
An understanding of life and love.
So go on! Seek your balance!”Artist and Poet: Rosalina Cantu
