As I glide my brush against the tattered pieces of past events, I contemplate what the future of this piece may be. Its colors intensely vivid, it’s seduction like the presences of a lover, I know this piece will be unlike any other. Born in the city of Madrid, I was raised by my mother a Spanish Math teacher and my father a French watch maker both in which had a deep compassion for the arts. Undoubtedly I developed the same love affair, spending my life in constant search for new inspiration I thirsted for something different something I had yet to see. At the age of sixteen I had fallen in love with a girl by the name of Gabriella. I had found the inspiration that I had been longing for; I had found the heart to my artwork. A beautiful flamenco dancer, she moved across the floor as though she was walking on clouds, she spun with such elegance my eyes reassured me I had never seen anything of such beauty. I watched her intently hoping to strike her attention but with no such luck I decided I would give her the only gift I had. I painted a portrait of the first night I had seen Gabriella, with her back turned to me I had been mesmerized by her exotic dance.
