Vía láctea (2025) Painting by Bonifacio Contreras

The creative process begins with experiences, ideas, sensations or circumstances that I go through and somehow come to me through understanding or sensitivity.

In the house where I live there is a corridor where many wild birds usually enter. Some of them usually carry dry stems, threads or herbs ? in the season where they make their nests. One morning I found long, thick, electric blue hair lying down. That got me thinking about how and where those birds got their blue hair. Then imagine a scene where while a ? distracts a woman with long blue hair, another bird tears off the strips with which they will make their nest. Perhaps the observer of the painting "Woman with Birds" comes to reflect on how we usually classify animals into two large and unfair categories: beautiful, useful and docile animals and in another the ugly, obtrusive and wild - aggressive ones. That is an example of the creative process.
