Natalia Flores
(mother, wife, painter)
What is, in your
opinion, a professional artist?
It is the one that is gifted
and with such gift does a serious job so as to live on it.
What's the relation between art and money in your work?
There is practically no relation,
my works are shown once or twice a year, in exhibitions held in
my hometown or where I studied. I have not sold anything so as
to be able to relate it with money, the only relation with money
is how much every working element costs. I guess, to relate art
with money you have to be lucky enough to be contacted with certain
circles. For the time being, I see this rather difficult to do
since I am almost unknown in the milieu.
How do you resolve the conditions of visibility of your work in
the context you work in?
As I have already answered, my work is only seen if I am invited
to participate in the exhibitions in my city or in the nearby
areas.
How would you define cultural tourism?
We could say that cultural tourism is that herd of people
that is interested in knowing cultural themes no matter what kind
they are.
How would you define culture shock?
I do not understand the question.
What's the relationship between control and chance in your work?
When working, I think what comes up mainly is control. I am
not the kind of person who leaves too many things to chance for
the fear of the irreparable. Though sometimes, there are other
solutions that I would rather implement, at least on my works.
I want things to turn out as I have previously thought, and to
express what I really mean to.
