Welcome to this little window of my brain
Nature is C O L O U R is B E I N G
Hola, is Adriana Jaros here. I'll use this space to organize some of my research and interests and to share with whoever is reading this (if anyone at all ha!) in the hopes that it can also inspire you. As you might know, I am originally from Venezuela but have been living in London for 12 years. It took me a looong time to figure out my path and my true inner nature but being far from home and creating a new life from scratch kind of helped me discover what it is that I love living for. It is not easy and I am still discovering it every day but I have arrived into myself, and this path of discovery, which can feel exciting so I thought it could be a good idea to share this with you whilst it is all happening. It might be that no one reads this but that's not important, I'll do this in order to talk to myself and it can hopefully resonate with you - the ether.
( By the way, there is strictly no AI no Chat GPT in this words, I make a promise here and now that this will be a space free from computer editing. Nothing wrong with that but just to save myself from skipping true inner expression, even if it is wrongly put into words sometimes. . . )
It all started . . .
If only life was like movies, so organized and so linear. . . Well this journey for me has not been easy but there was definitely a before and after @joya residency in Spain this Jan 2023. I went there with loads of materials and ideas and when I was there rather than behaving like I normally do here in London, where life does not stop and does not wait for you to figure stuff out, I stopped. I thought. I stayed in bed, I enjoyed full slow meals, and long conversations. It was truly a journey inwards. It felt so calm and so wholesome.
Slowly I started to understand, or better, to hear myself and pay attention to the impulses. I started to dye my fabrics with natural offerings from the land. I started to grind the pebbles and rocks I had collected and followed a guide to make pigment and then transformed that into paint.
The journey had nothing to do with results, although I did do drawings, paintings, and textile sculptures, my older mindset needed these outer results in order to feel I was 'doing something P R O D U C T I V E' but the ripples of what happened there and the opening I found is what really I am trying to cultivate to take forwards within my practice.
The outcomes . . .
Thanks so much for reading all the way here. Or jumping down to here haha... I won't blame you, this might be nice to read only to me but if it can help anyone or add to anyone's life it would be lovely to know, if you fancy sharing - it's important to share, right? is how society started, it is how we are still here.
I have some of the drawings I did at Joya in Spain with the natural pigments and paint I hand-made available on the Enye online shop - have a look or support this journey
