Who i am ?

 

I am joaquina, I was born in San Bernardo but I have lived in maipo until today. Maipo is a town in the commune of Buin, is the second oldest place in Chile, being Santiago the first, is famous for its religious festivals, the most famous of all is The procession of the Virgin Mary, is celebrated every December 8 the statue of the virgin leaves the church and walks with the inhabitants throughout maipo, the virgin is carried by several people some of whom have more than 50 years fulfilling this work, my family and me love it to participate in all the festivities of Maipo.

I live in the house that belonged to my great grandfather, he was a very hardworking and loving man, together with my great grandmother founded a tavern near my current home which was very popular in Maipo, my father helped to carry bottles of wine to the tavern when he was a child, I could not meet my great grandfather, I have only seen him in pictures and also by the stories of my family.

My parents always saw me as a future artist, they always motivated me to study art, my father tells me to this day: "you will be a Picasso". My mother likes art, but she is not as fussy as my father when she looks at paintings, althought at first I wanted to be a veterinarian, but in the end I decided to study visual arts.

Studying Art is a beautiful experience, when you arrive you own ideas about art and it is incredible to discover for yourself that art is a much bigger field with infinite branches and posibilities.

I always carry my tablet with me wherever i go, I love digital art, my tablet is full of illustrations and animations, I have also participated in many drawing contests, but I also play video games on my tablet, I love to play video games I don't have a favorite genre of game, but the last ones I have played have been battle games.

I like to cook healthy food, I usually avoid eating fried food, I listen to Pop music and in winter I like to knit, but digital art will always be my favorite activity.
