Obed Puerta

Obed Puerta is my top instagram discovery this year.He's a portrait artist, with a humble attitude. His view of the inner world is amazing and he's capable of surprising the sadness of the human being in so many forms.

There's a saying about Mexican people: they turn everything they touch into art. But I think Obed does more than that, it's like he captures the human heartaches on paper.

On novelty and fear of failure

we often choose the old instead of embracing the new. somehow, the unknown scares us way more than the old, no matter how awful the old really is. the failure thought is what makes us impotent to accepting the new. and the consumers feel the same way. no matter how much good we promote in novelty, the old is known and therefore comfortable. how much strength does the new need in order to overcome our fear of failure?

Where we’d rather be right now Portofino - where else? George Clooney style, obviously. And with the token two-person water-faring vessel.
