Francisco de Goya is my favorite artist because his artworks captivate me with their raw emotion and vivid imagery. One of his paintings that particularly inspires me is "Saturn Devouring His Son." This dark and haunting portrayal of the mythological titan consuming his own child reflects Goya's mastery in conveying intense human emotions. The painting's chilling depiction serves as a powerful reminder of the complexity of human nature and the capacity for both love and destruction.

Goya's ability to evoke such strong emotions through his art is what truly draws me to him. Through his use of bold brushstrokes and contrasting light and dark shades, Goya creates a sense of urgency and empathy within me.

Moreover, Goya's willingness to challenge societal norms and expose the flaws of the ruling elite further inspires me. His series of etchings, "Los Caprichos," criticizes the corruption and ignorance prevalent in Spanish society during his time. This fearlessness in addressing social issues encourages me to use my own creative voice to shed light on injustices and initiate positive change.

For me, Francisco de Goya's artworks deeply resonate with me. His ability to evoke strong emotions, challenge conventions, and create thought-provoking pieces of art has a profound impact on my own artistic journey. Goya's courage to confront societal issues and his masterful technique continue to inspire me to push the boundaries of my own creativity and strive for deeper expression in my own work.

I can say that the person who inspires me the most is Frida Kahlo. She was not only a great artist in her work, but her way of demonstrating her talent and showing her passion also really caught my attention. It is truly admirable how she managed to capture her is inner world in each of her works.

Many people who are also inspired by Kahlo find in her art a way to express their own lives, feelings and emotions, not just in simple actions, but in everything they do, in their work that they do in what they are passionate about being.

Maybe I felt inspired by her past, many people have a sad beginning and hard path, but that is where I see that she continued standing until she captured her life in a simple work of art, in a simple brush, which we have each person with whom we paint the canvas to which we will capture all our feelings, passions, pains, loves, joys, anger and more, and that is why she inspires me, inspires me to be able to move on, no matter how difficult the road may be, I must know that the world always rewards those who endure.

I am fascinated by a book by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian writer. "The alchemist" written by him. "The alchemist" talks about an Andalucia sheepherd, the shepherd travels to the pyramids of Egypt to look for a treasure. Before reaching his destination, he meets a great magician who has the two elements of the wisdom of alchemy, tells him that there is a drink of eternal life and has made a yellow egg, the philosopher's stone, which can turn any other into gold. metal. It is one of my favorite books because it uses simple words, with each word that the author writes he teaches the reader. The book is very interesting. "The alchemist" makes me think about the future, dreams and when a person really wants something. The book leaves a great teaching, never give up and always fight for our dreams.

Jules Verne is an inspiration to me because he was a great science fiction writer. He wrote many books such as: the journey to the center of the earth, 20 thousand leagues under the sea, around the world in 80 days, 5 weeks in a balloon, and many more.

Many historians say that when Julio was 11 years old, he ran away from home because he wanted to work in the ship's kitchen to buy a necklace for his cousin. He was in love with her, at that time when he started writing, but he started her love for writing. when her literature teacher told him stories about her husband who was a sailor. Julio began his love for science fiction with the teacher's stories and that love never ends. For me Jules Verne's books are very interesting because he talked about many strange stories. He had a different way of thinking because a lot of his stories are now movies. In most of his books he talks about strange things like fantastic places and actions that would be impossible to do at the time. His imagination to create giant animals and brave characters stands out a lot in modern literature, in these times his idea that the earth is hollow is a theory that many scientists analyze and believe possible.

My FAVORITE ARTIST By Patricia Ortega

One of my Favorite Artist is Nicholas Sparks, he is an American writer. He is the author of many bestselling books that inspired many movies about them such as "The Notebook", "Dear Jonh", "The Best of Me", "Save Haven" among others. He is characterized by his romantic novels but that have some tragic end that always bring a tear. Although I really like his style my favorite book is the best of me, because it is about a teenage love that they meet again after years and although they can't be together he donates his heart for her son. He isn't a person I can be inspired by, because I don't know much about the writer's life but I know he has a non-profit organization to encourage education. But his written works do inspire me in that altruistic love he shows.

I like the artist Vincent Van Goh because his paintings show a lot of his inner struggles, emotions and life experiences. I love his thick brushwork, vibrant colors and expressive textures. I also like his history of mental health problems and difficulties he had but in spite of everything, he persevered in his passion for art and continued to create until the end of his life.

I am inspired by his passion and emotional expression, I appreciate him for the beauty in the everyday, authenticity and lasting legacy. His life and art continues to touch the hearts of many people and is a constant reminder to pursue my passion and find my own creative voice. Although he faced numerous hardships and rejections during his life, he continued to paint with extraordinary intensity and energy. His commitment and perseverance inspires me to follow my passions and not give up on the dreams I have. his bold brush strokes and vibrant colors reflect his inner world, the way he expresses his emotions is so powerful and has helped me to explore and express my own feelings through art. Van Gogh found beauty in the simplest details of life, whether it be a wheat field, a pair of worn out shoes or a starry night, his ability to appreciate beauty inspires me to take a closer look and find wonder in my surroundings, in nature and to capture its essence in his own words.

Jorge Miranda

Playing the guitar is one of my favorite activities. One of the artists that inspired me to learn to play the guitar is Saul Hudson or better known as Slash who was the lead guitarist of the band Guns N' Roses. For me Slash is one of the best guitarists in the world.

Guns N' Roses also inspired me to start playing the guitar, with songs like "November Rain", "You Could Be Mine" influenced my desire to learn to play the guitar.

I have been fascinated by his ability with the guitar inspiring me to one day play like him. when I met the band Guns N' Roses I loved the guitar solos that Slash played, now I know how to play some guitar solos, although I'm not very good, I practice a lot so maybe one day I'll be in a band and play like Slash.

Isaac Danieldson is one of my favorite artists. I love his voice and his songs are really good. He loves to write and compose about his thoughts. His passions are inspired by other musicians, like Michael Jackson .His music was influenced by experimental rock and pop . Danieldson is from Sweden and he speaks and sings in English. When he was a child, he participated in a contest in which he reached the final.

 This contest was important to be able to achieve his dream. Actually, it was the way in which many recognized his talent.

 I like that his music is realistic and passionate. He always tries to touch on issues of self-improvement and personal love.

Also, I think that he's rebel and creative. You Will be moved by his lyrics and his charisma, especially the song "power". It has really touched my heart. He has his own style and i love it.

Erika Pedraza

I have always been fascinated by Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos's books, especially for the experiences that he reflects in his books, the way that he tries to tell us the stories .... Everyone was inspired by the way that he captures and explains different things about life. For example, in his best-known book, "Mi planta naranja Lima", he shows us the importance of life, showing the experiences, new things, different events, and others. All this inspired meto try to see the life in a different way, avoiding giving up the situations that come my way every day, looking for a way to overcome a problem and always getting ahead. But the most important thing his books taught me to try to always see life in a positive way, knowing that there is always a solution for everything, teaching me to see problems differently.

My favorite artist is Michelle Obama. She was the first lady of the USA, she has graduated from Princeton University and Harvard law school. She´s the only African-American First Lady of the United States. She and her husband have been chosen as "the best couple of the decade". She published her biography called "Becoming", this was the best selling book in the US.

She was the wife of Barack Obama since 2008, she has exercised a very active public responsibility, she has dedicated her time to many things such as:

1.- create an Association for a healthier America.

2.- inspired a healthier diet for children.

3.- Has supported physical activity.

4.- has supported veterans with a home and psychological help.

5.-Has cared for the health and well-being of children and women

6.-Has collaborated with equal opportunities.

7.-has always supported education.

She is a great inspiration to me because she has always maintained a balance between power and humility. She is gentle and has taken every opportunity to help others. She has supported her husband at every opportunity. And she has come a long way as a woman.

Favio Alejandro Alvarez Flores

One of my favourite artists is Vincent van Gogh, who is well known for his post-impressionist style of painting. His works are filled with vivid colours, expressive brushstrokes, and emotional depth. The reason why I am so fascinated by Van Gogh is that his art reflects his own struggles with mental illness, isolation, and poverty. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, he was able to create a body of work that continues to inspire and move people today. Vincent van Gogh's paintings have a timeless quality that transcends cultural and historical boundaries. His use of colour and light creates a sense of movement and energy, conveying a wide range of emotions and moods. For me, Van Gogh's art represents the power of creativity to help us connect with our own humanity and overcome life's challenges. His story reminds me that even in the darkest of times, there is always a spark of beauty and hope that can be found in art.
