       Lee Ufan is a very important Japanese philosopher and artist who has been recognized for his important contribution to the development of contemporary art in Japan.

      Lee's artwork evokes nature in a simple but great spiritual content. His exhibition "Making Infinity" at the Guggenheim museum in New York calls to the basic principles of life, one pause for a moment in our lives and think about what really matters for each of us in our lives, our jobs, our families.

      The "From Point"  is a painting from the exhibition Making Infinity where Lee combines the glue with a beautiful and vibrant mineral pigment cobalt blue on a white ground.  This rhythmic composition of blue dots, which disintegrate and re-view is like waves dancing on a pure white sky.

      LaGuardia fine art majors made a collection in remembrance the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 entitled "10 years later" during the class of the professor Bruce, one of his students was me Luz Orozco.

      When I was little I used to dream repeatedly that I was in the middle of a field and I was there, painting the valley in front of me, now my dreams come true, I am painter.

      Last semester one of the assignments for my inter-media painting class was to make an artwork tribute for the 10th anniversary of the unfortunate tragedy to the twin towers.  Because it is an important and so delicate subject I wanted to do in my painting a very rich and clean artwork.  My painting was made in an abstract technique with acrylic paintings over a yeso medium as a first base with the intention to give it texture to my geometric forms which represent the city looking from heaven.  The color white was chosen in homage to the cold and the snow characteristic of New York and the combination of red, black, and gold colors represents the victims of this tragedy.  

      As a LaGuardia student is a privilege being part of this exposition and I am very proud of myself for be able to communicate my feelings and thoughts and transformer in art.
