A FAMILY'S PORTRAIT
I have always felt a great love for art and, with my parents support, I opted for this road since I was little. My most beloved and influential teachers were Matilde Orellana and José Bardasano. Our family lives in Mexico City. In 1955 I married José Salazar. He was not a painter but still loved all pictoric expressions, specially pre-columbine. Together we attended art conferences and collected interesting, popular art objects. We had seven children: Pepe, Martita, Norma, Ana Laura, Mónica, Patricia y Lydia. Since my husband suffered from heart trouble most of his life, I decided to dedicate myself to painting. I believe a wife's activities must not only be related to her abilities but also to the part she must play in her family's well being. It must be love and not laws which guide a woman's work asides from her home, which she must never neglect. A family's members are like straw to a bird's nest. Their love, shown through happiness and support help make their home something warm and cozy. When art becomes another reason for them being together, their home becomes a great work place where everyone shares their work in order to give and receive constructive criticism. In our home there have always existed rooms destined for creativity. In there: drawing, cutting, modeling, construction, occur. These sites must always have the right illumination, storage area and the walls / floor must be easy to clean; art books must also be available. From the time my children were young, there have never existed rivalries or artistic competitions because each and everyone follows their own way. In their artistic expression there is not a dominant school or an imposed style. For harmony to exist within a family, an effort must be made to live those values which bring peace and happiness: a spirit of service; a kind and gentle touch; avoid comparisons between the members of the family; culture; liberty; love and respect; optimism and, above all, deep values. I thank God for my family and for giving us a sensibility for art which manifests his presence in our work, in true beauty and in the search for truth.
