The strident desings by Kaizen.

Kaizen is a Japanese term that refers to continuous improvement, change and the constant search for new things. It's not by chance that, from a person with this name, the creative capacity of a graphic designer emerges. So, in this article I will talk about his aesthetic and her artistic influences.

Lady Gaga's music, flamboyance and shows enchanted this young man when he was just eight years old. He began to draw self-taught and to paint with all kinds of materials.

As a designer, rectangular and square structures stand out as a compositional form, but the use of color and his sense of combining textures is much more complex, as can be seen in the second image.

In his designs you can see almost the entire color palette and black barely appears, it could even be said that he only uses it when strictly necessary.

It's probably that this designer will surprise us in the future with some creation that, as he himself says, is a mixture of the visceral and the artistic process. To look more about his designs, you can follow him on his Instagram account @ kaikai.desing.

Write poetry in three simple steps.

"Practice makes the Master", it's true, but when we're were talking about poetry, we must bear in mind that although anyone can write a poem, but not everyone manages to establish themselves as true poets.

If you want to have a broad overview of this creative process, I invite you to continue reading this article that summarizes how can you start writing in three very simple steps, also you'll discover some tools that will help you to create texts with the genuine literary value that are so required in poetry.

1. Write from one or more images.

Before you start writing, you should focus on those things you want to evoke. Emotion is the engine of the poetic text, however, that emotion must be transformed into images, so that the writing of the poem flows naturally.

Sadness or love, for example, are generally associated with images such as the night, the moon, the sea, the dark or even with auditory sensations such as the sound of violin strings.

Once you identify these words, start writing them randomly. It's not necessary that there are a logical relationship between your images because you're writing poetry, the meaning of the text will emerge later, when you begin to connect them with each other.

2. Build a relationship between the images and the whole.

As I told you before, the words that you captured on the first page of your sketch will save the connections that you want to give them from the free development of your writing.

In poetry, this process is known as the construction of a metaphor, since you must transform the first words you imagined into a text with literary meaning. Thus, a writer like Alejandra Pizarnik connected a particular desire (emotion) with a metaphor of a trip (images) and wrote perhaps the most quoted of her poems:

explain with words of this world that a ship left me taking me.

(Pizarnik, Tree of Diana, 1962).

As you can see, the construction of a good poem is based on precision and the economy of language. It doesn't matter if you write a lot or a few verses, the important thing is that you can locate each word in the exact place, so you will be able to create the rhythm of poetry.

3. Keep writing, reading and rewriting (as many times as necessary).

To increase your vocabulary and have a notion of how to fight with the blank page, the best thing you can do is read the poets that you like the most and thus, little by little, you will find your own voice.

Elton John: a singer, an artist.

Everyone knows the singer Elton John.  He's a talented British musician and an incredible pianist.

For me, his music is wonderful and I grow up listening letter's with important content and human sense, a sutil mixture of poetry and, in ocassions, sadness (even when he talk about enjoy the life with his characteristics rock style).

Recently, we were able to see "Rocket man", a movie about his life when started his career and some adventures during those years. 

However, the true artist is not in the great recreation that the actor represents on this film.  To be honest, Elton's value is not in his extravagance, it's in the very human and honest lyrics that speak of life, beauty and our miseries.

In this post, I want to share with you a link where you can find the beautiful Elton John songs and a particular lyric that is, more than music, poetry.

Your song.

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.

I'm not one of those who can easily hide.

I don't have much money, but boy if I did.

I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no.

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show.

I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do.

My gift is my song, and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody this is your song.

It may be quite simple, but now that it's done.

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss.

Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross.

But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song.

It's for people like you that keep it turned on.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do.

You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue.

Anyway the thing is what I really mean.

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.

And you can tell everybody this is your song.

It may be quite simple, but now that it's done.

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

A brief story of the Tribal Dance.

About sixty years ago, a unique dance emerged in the United States in which various dance styles from the oriental cultures converged.  

With roots in the gypsy tribes of North Africa, Jamilah Salimpur, Masha Archer and Carolena Nericcio created a new style of dance that, later, would became the A.T.S (American Tribal Style).  

I was dancing A.T.S for almost four years in Venezuela and I could founded a special connection with my partners, my body, soul and mind. This dance is art, obviously, but also is a femele ritual with another woman's and with yourself.

The American Tribal Style contains a format of specific steps that vary according to the rhythm of the music.

The slow steps are more sinuous, while the fast ones, accompanied by chinchines that the dancers play with their hands, are characterized by the rapid movements of the hips, turns and combinations.

It's a group dance, with trios or duos in the center and a chorus in the back in a crescent formation. 

When the dancers in the center perform a combination of steps, those in the choir do different ones and take turns constantly throughout the song. 

On this photo, we could see another type to A.T.S: the fusion. This dancer are wearing another style to attire because they were dancing a cabaret style, that is an interesting and amazing Tribal Fusion.

The A.T.S wardrobe is very colorful and overloaded and the makeup alludes to ancient Egyptian faces. It's an art who has an exceptional mixed because is the unique dance in whole world that contains influence of the Bellydance, Flamenco and Indian dances.
