With its 28 springs Carmen M. Selma still has the madness of kids, but not innocent. Winner National Prize of Plastic Art Nalón 2005 and finalist in many art competitions as the X edition of Young Art Fair in Madrid, has already made many exhibitions in places as diverse as Asturias, Valencia, Alicante, Elche, Seville, Toledo and soon in Italy. His last exhibition has been in Alicante in the gallery Casar (C / Lieutenant Duran, for those who want to visit).
His pictures are clear, like it or not. He does not paint to sell, and not find your pictures on any trendy restaurant or in a hotel like the Hilton. Often controversial, his work always personal and unique, criticize and report current and past issues.
Despite this long and promising curriculum, as Carmen says, live art, survives. Indeed, as happened to many of the greats.
closed her eyes, she felt exhausted. Tears came into his eyes helplessly. I did not understand what was wrong, why he behaved well. I only knew that when I went I could not stop. He smelled of sweat and blood, but not disliked as much as it should. He was accustomed. I knew then would approach him, the one he loved so much and give her a hug. Possibly cry, but she would never see those tears. Those tears that made her feel power and Loathing at the same time. Probably that night ended up in bed together, with the same wild passion that takes over your body every time he passed something. Not happen very often. At the moment had passed only three times, three times in two years.
happened last time for a couple of hours. No, certainly did not know or understand why, but the small daily insults not enough, and today he had gone further. He closed his eyes and recalled the beatings, recalled how he had happened one after another, recalled the screams and blood spattering the room. He recalled the laughter. He had beaten. His anger had taken over his soul. He was so weak ... Not stand it.
So today she was back to beat him. He was beaten with everything she had found the room to see him bleed, the vase had shattered the chair, at that time did not care. He never defended, and no doubt would have beaten to see him dead, if not because suddenly something made him stop.
Today she had turned to abuse.
International Day Against Gender Violence.
What gender?
Any person capable of beating, insulting, abusing the person they are supposed to love, or any other, does not deserve even the slightest understanding, tolerance and respect. Anyone. Of sex that is.
Although normally (statistically) most victims are women battered by men can not leave out protection for abused men. Men abused by their wives, or abused by their men. Or women battered by their wives. It's crazy not to forget some of the victims are women. Or for not being heterosexual.
Women Do not deserve the "story" is also a conviction for abuse? Why the male victim will cost much more than any woman? Why women have less sticking condemn the man who hit her? What is it, what a woman less strong glue? Does less damage? Are you sure?
And if a man hits another man, this couple? And if a woman who abuses his girlfriend or wife? Why are the gay couples outside of the protection?
We are facing a law that protects only heterosexual women. Is not that discrimination? Why would anyone do anything? Why not partner violence called to cover all victims?
If we ask equality, that is true.
should improve the protection of victims all who have punishable by effective, what is that rehabilitation courses?, what guarantee is there that when you go back not to abuse?, why despite denouncing the victims die?, Are they really effective restraining orders?
And most Why some people are capable of doing harm to the person who supposedly loves? is quite incomprehensible, the horror, the nightmare they are living, hell by the hand of the alleged most important person in your life .... End this madness at once.
raised his hand again. But She-He up and said NO. And the people around told him NO. And everyone stood up and said NO.
ps: I should add that after seeing how different media have talked about it and no one has talked about battered men and homelessness in homosexual couples reaffirm and above me I wonder why? I ended up saturated with images of battered women and it's outrageous, yes, but why do they forget the other victims? I do not know if I'm going to issue or do not understand, or is that nobody cares, but this is totally awesome.
one inherited from his family a lot. Some inherited houses, others inherit fields, houses, cars, some jewelry, other debts lol and many, like me ... inherit from my mother only his teachings, his way of being, what I was seeing every day since birth.
learned to be generous, and as Teresa of Calcutta said, give until it hurts. I learned to be humble, to not think first of myself, but also in the other noticing. Learned to respect, to appreciate others, to put in place and do no harm.
All these "jewels" you also want to inherit. Is the most valuable thing I can leave, besides being, to help them, to accompany them, to make crafts to keep them, to love them so much!.
But, like me, I'd like that better. To invest the "capital" into something better. My mother is very untrusting of people and always thinks evil. Believes there is always a double intention, which are opportunistic and are dual purpose when you approach. And I learned they are not all equal. That people must be given the opportunity know, that demonstrates what they feel, what's wrong and acting in one way or another.
