𝗜𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗪⁣ ⁣ It’s 1 am and I’m thinking of my life. I feel gratitude for all the things that are happening, the people coming in and out of my life, the good and bad experiences; as growth comes from all kinds of moments, I think of solitude , I think of soul mates, I think of breath, the earth, my feet on it, my soul, my heart, my children, my nonstop beating heart even when heavy, my eyes even when teary, my skin even when changing, my lips even when wet, my freckles that account for every year of life like a ring is to the trees, my sweat as accountable for my actions, the discovery I’m seeking, the loss I feel sometimes that teaches me to love the gains, catching the tail end of what I have journeyed and walked through rocks and freezing rivers, if you only knew what goes on with people in their truth. ⁣ ⁣ If you only knew what river runs through me, how marvelous it is that we can’t step in the same river twice. My feet are not tired of walking they are ready to keep climbing, my breath is not fast because of exhaustion but because of excitement of what’s to come. My hands are ready to grasp the wind and the sunsets in mountains, my words that help me communicate. Words and their weight, stars and their gaze. ⁣ #ranting ⁣ ⁣ Happy Sunday peeps! ⁣ Xoxo⁣ Lara⁣ ⁣ #laraalcantara #lamascool #artistavenezolana #artistaenny #siguiendoviviendoexperiencias #experiencinglife #lovingmyselfbigtime #venezuelanartist #venezuelaninartbasel #venezuelanarristmiami #nyphotographer (at The Journey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChhpWsfuRDs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you go below the surface of "Bad Pink Wolf", by artist team @tocooco, you will walk away with a far greater appreciation of their creative decision to address perennially relevant ancestral and modern-day themes: "The color obtained between red and white, in the symbolic encounter between the transmutation of life and death and purity, translates into pink. The figure of the evil wolf that holds the head is only our animal essence, the one that is above our desire to be human, but that brings the awareness that we are only animals, and it is in this clarity that the battle will last until the end of our days and years."

Tia

A irmã teve gêmeos. Alice e Davi, lindos e pequeninos. Os bebês ficaram na UTI quase duas semanas, mas agora já estão em casa. Eu sou tia e eu sou a tia mais feliz do mundo. Torço agora todo dia pra que eles cresçam fortes e saudáveis, pra que nunca falte sorrisos e que eu seja pra eles a tia que eles merecem.

The force of an untamed wild animal is about to spread wings again. The law of attraction is beginning to feel real again. She bent over the dishes and thought. Break them as the eager many soul of her fractured steps decided to brake some plates and brake the mold again. ⁣ ⁣ The path now cleared up with the winds pushing dust into specs and making them disappear. ⁣ ⁣ This shall become a large spotted tree of growth in the jungle she called herself. !!!!! ⁣ ⁣ 𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗘? ⁣ ⁣ Xoxo⁣ Lara⁣ ⁣ #laraalcantara #photographerinny #laraalcantaraphotography #artsitavenezolana #venezuelanartist #fotografaenny #upandcomingaryistinny #newlatinaartist #venezuelanphotographer (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChZnKIJOEZu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘.. She Started taking her clouds and diagnosing them and putting them into their right place. Fixing and reorganizing to create harmony. Inner harmony. She dismembered the clouds and analyzed them. When is it too much? So many tears evaporated and made clouds rumble and tumble with winds blowing and turning. Reading, contemplating, reorganizing, understanding and placing priorities. Trying to keep myself in the present and not the future or the past. Forgiving herself. Knowing and understanding that she did things out of a place of love. The judgement of others are not her problem. If they liked her or not wasn’t Hers to decipher. She lived under her rules, she lived with her heart in her hands, and loved blindly. Happy Monday guys! Healing is a thrill!!!! Take the time to heal yourself and the relationship with YOU!

𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗, 𝗠𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠⁣ ⁣ Running through this space of rumbles and tumbles. 🌧 Trying to make sense of my life as I live it⁣ Head in the clouds, Storms of thoughts and memories⁣ I will take care of this cloud that has temperaments and is trying to tell her story.⁣ She is mine to take care of⁣ I have been blessed to live and LOve in my temple. ⁣ Seeing first hand what silence creates in us. ⁣ It creates a war to end the evading situations that actually are sitting there in the waiting room, waiting to be seen and diagnosed. ⁣ ⁣ I will remember this time with myself as a very important part of my process and my learnings as I move into the next chapter of my life. ⁣ ⁣ Xoxo ⁣ From vero beach art residency ⁣ ⁣ Lara #laraalcantara #artresidency #artistinresidence #artistaenresidencia #artistaenflorida #venezuelanartist #venezolanaennuevayork #fotografavenezolana #artistavenezolana #wegrowlatinaartist #artistupandcoming (at 𝑰𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzEuZmuF8M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡.. Wow and here we go again. To be honest I didn’t think this would happen again after two years. The process of changing is never ending, but when our energies are scattered in many places and you forget again to respect you, to love you, to understand that You are the most important thing in your world. ✋ STOP… take a breath… listen… feel. To be honest I’m a little lost again. And I have come to an understating with myself that that is ok. That I just have to show up for myself most importantly listen to my heart. The path got erased as I walked, the roughness of my souls became greater and more acute, the drumming of my heart became faint, I still can listen to myself screaming in the middle of so many things.. “Hey! I’m still here! Are you ready?” I realized I’ve been looking away and pretending unconsciously that everything is fine. Hitting July was the scream ! It’s been a rough six months, mixed with ups and downs, heartache and pain, loss and yearning, melancholic moments and great successes. Maybe they could have been bigger but I must be LOVE and say “you did well… “ The process is real again, looking for silence, looking for LARA, looking for peace of mind. Leaving the most important part of me in this process is the hardest thing. My heart grieves and suddenly screams, it will wait. Just be calm, just believe. Believe in what you manifested in 2020 is still here. Just waiting for you to fix yourself. Starting residency on Tuesday. Making new work is my healing. Being in artist mode is my healing. I will come back stronger, and I am a believer that the Universe has my back. Thanks for reading!

𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧… Six months ago I embarked in the idea of being a part of an art show that made sense for me. @theotherartfair is a place for artists, not for show off, not for competition, not for only collectors or fancy shmancy. It’s a place for art lovers, and people who believe in us artists as innovators, mind set changers and believers of pure magic. It’s a place to dream big, to show yourself as who you are and not have someone else say or make you who you are to please others. It made sense! I applied and got accepted from over 300 artists that applied. Then won the spot to represent the fair with the @hoxtonhotel family in my neighborhood of williamsburg!!! Set out to understand my art as an entity, as my career for a living, as the place where I want to be. I opened my company, open my business account and started in the venture of understanding organization, strategy and lots of LOVE for myself and who I came to this world to be. I want people to have my work on their walls, to smile when they see it, to wake up and contemplate it in their space. I want to live off what I most love. Being an artist or anything you do in life isn’t easy, but if you love it… it’s a blast! And that is the best job ever! Thank you the whole team @theotherartfair for believing in us! #artfairnyc #theotherartfairnyc #saatchiartist #saatchigallery #laraalcantara #pinkjacket #millyclothes #icpalumni #nyualumni #cindysherman Thank you @saatchiart for posting my image on such an incredible change of a lifetime day for me!

𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘…⁣ ⁣ I have a feeling of coming back home. Of coming back to my basics, of being there in that place where I have been longing to be at. Where things start to make sense, where I start to make sense to myself. ⁣ ⁣ Where I have understood that In some eyes I will be the monster and in some I will be the savior, where some might think I have no heart , but others might say “you are my heart” , how we create everything we have, we see, we feel, we are so powerful in our own minds that we can manifest change. ⁣ ⁣ I know and understand that I am a good person, that I am who I am because I am strong and have shed through everything I have been through. Because I know that I am willing to embrace change. That I want to feel again like I belong in this place. ⁣ ⁣ I am a person who loves and has loved with her whole heart, that the people that exist in my life are part of me, that I love them dearly. That when I walk barefoot I walk in awe of my own path. That I am the woman I want to be even though I have gone through the adversities of that rocky road, I have felt my bones cracking, and melting with despair. But everything, believe me everything happens for a reason. ⁣ ⁣ I have been shaken up many times and I think I truly now deserve good love, big love and I open my arms and embrace that moment.

The braking became a search, the search became a learning moment, the moment became an interrogation, and the interrogation became an idea. Sensations create ideas 💡 ⁣ ⁣ Like an abstract painting 🧑‍🎨 she reached for parts of the pieces. She slowly put them together in awe and resemblance. She melted the past into her present and her present was stronger. The past had tormented her for quite sometime and now as she searched and questioned everything like a child, she discovered that her feet felt grounded, that her hands even as boyish as they were, had been essential to touch and build strength. ⁣ ⁣ The ground was filled with ants 🐜 and those picked through her skin with violence and burn. 🔥 That burn made her feel. Made her feel alive. Made her realize that this is the time to take action. This is the time to live and not flounder, this is the time to construct bigger not deconstruct. ⁣ ⁣ As a prisoner she ate little, thought too much and made the best of her time. ⁣ ⁣ Let’s rely on intuition and let’s know and feel that our presence is what matters, that our decisions must burn and thus heal also.
