Today I decided to be selfish and ask for more by giving more!
I decided to repost old content, because when I have posted this content, I had less friends here and some of you missed it. 

In addition to that, today I post everything under the creative commons license, so you may know by now what that means but I am saying it  again for everyone. 

Creative Commons License allows everyone to copy, share, print, edit, re-interpret, remix, draw inspiration from  and use freely even for commercial purposes, all the content I am posting here (text, image, gif and video) you can repost on steemit or anywhere else 

You are not obligated to mention me as the author but if you do post here on steemit and mention me,  I will resteem and upvote your post.  

Also if you are a video editor and want some content to edit and post here on steemit, you can use mine as a resource and I would definitely reword that, because I would love to see my video in  better shape  :P 

With all that being said I hope my content generates some rewards for other steemians too :P

SO HERE IS MY OLD CONTENT SHARED IN A NEW WAY :p 

Also I want to add that this is one of my favorite artworks because it represented a break true in my style, and I think it deserves some more attention   
$0.39 ( this is the reword I got from my post last month)

I am usually driven by my curiosity, fascination, need of understanding when I am choosing a theme for a painting.
Through a series of paintings like “feelings”, I try to find a new way of answering my questions. I need to understand my own sensibility and instead of writing down the information I know and leave question marks for what I have yet to discover, I invent a visual abstract language to help me, in a way, see a shape with color, value, qualities and relationships that will still add to the bigger picture.
I give a human face to the feeling because this association helps me understand it better
The generic name ”feelings” was chosen as such because I want the description to be visual rather than linguistic - names, tags, words and question marks are not efficient anymore having been used so often without a complex meaning.
My ultimate interest is having more consciousness and appreciation for all my emotional capacities.

This artwork speaks about the feeling of nostalgia, a pleasant longing for the past.
If feels like a soft shadow of sadness being overcome by joy and gratitude. Blue transparent sadness for the time that has gone and that placed your happiness somewhere in the past. Worm sparkles of gratitude for the experience and the sweet memory that has made you who you are today.
A quiet smile relieves a gasp of air through tired bruised lips, so tired from smiling and laughing, cringing and shouting, arguing and agreeing with the present moment.
Deep lines around the mouth and eyes, from being always observant and reactive to the now, morph into soft petals in a moment of relaxation. A short break from the present in which all the tension disappears and you can visualize a familiar happy place.
