About The Artwork

The Afghan Girl - Tribute as a Young woman The Afghan Girl is a 1984 photographic portrait of Sharbat Gula also known as Sharbat Bibi, taken by photojournalist Steve McCurry. She appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic magazine. From the moment I saw this image when I was a teenager I was absolutely blown away, it has always been there in my brain and I always thought about what that girl would look like as a teenager. La joven afgana - Homenaje de juventud La Niña Afgana es un retrato fotográfico de 1984 de Sharbat Gula, también conocida como Sharbat Bibi, realizado por el fotoperiodista Steve McCurry. Apareció en la portada de junio de 1985 de la revista National Geographic. Desde el momento que vi esta imagen cuando era un adolescente quede absolutamente impactado, siempre ha estado ahí en mi cerebro y siempre pensé como luciría esa niña siendo una adolescente.

I worked more than 35 years of my life in advertising. Art has always been my companion. Figurative painter. Available for commissions, I am always happy to discuss requests, and can easily be arranged through Saatchiart or directly dpjpalaciosdiego@gmail.com.co Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist who survived the Nazi concentration camps, said that man needs something in his life as motivation to be able to continue with the weight of adversity, something to live for. I have been suffering for more than 6 years from a disease called chronic axonal polyneuropathy, in normal words, it is the damage of the nerves of the peripheral system. Since I was a child, I was privileged to be able to pick up a pencil and express things in a very easy and natural way, from the moment my disease manifested itself, this disappeared, to the point of almost not being able to write, but thanks to that fighting spirit that Viktor Frankl spoke about, I found in art a form of therapy and cure for my ailments, and today I express through my art feelings that many people find beautiful. I believe that we need heroes, idols, people who fill our lives with examples of courage, with words, images and sounds, that make our journey more bearable. That is why I paint people, and sometimes animals that are very important to those people. Trabaje mas de 35 años de mi vida en Publicidad. El arte siempre fue mi compañero. Pintor figurativo.

Yo sufro desde hace más de 6 años, de una enfermedad llamada polineuropatica crónica axonal, en palabras normales, es el daño de los nervios del sistema periférico. Desde muy pequeño, fui un privilegiado de poder coger un lápiz y plasmar las cosas de una manera muy fácil y natural, a partir de que mi enfermedad se manifestó, esto desapareció, hasta el punto de casi no poder ni escribir, pero gracias ese espíritu de lucha del que hablaba Viktor Frankl, encontré en el arte una forma de terapia y cura para mis dolencias, y hoy expreso a través de mi arte sentimientos que mucha gente encuentra hermosos.
