<div>&nbsp;Es el título de este mural resultado de la pandemia, momento histórico que me ha inspirado para crear una pieza que muestra de manera simbólica la analogía de esta crisis humana.<br>.<br>La situación actual que vivimos me hizo notar a flor de piel la teoría que en su momento Charles Darwin confirmaba con su investigación acerca de la evolución y la selección natural; la cual menciona que solo permanece aquel que logra adaptarse a las condiciones que la naturaleza le impone.<br><br>Bajo esta premisa, el mural esta inspirado en la frase: -"La adaptación depende de la presión a la que se es sometido"- mostrando con elementos simbólicos dicha accion ocasionada por forzar a una figura entrar en otra; o bien, por forzar al ser humano a las nuevas condiciones de vida&nbsp;<br>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br>It is the title of this mural resulting from the pandemic, a historical moment that has inspired me to create a piece that symbolically shows the analogy of this human crisis.<br>.<br>The current situation we are living in made me notice the theory that at the time Charles Darwin confirmed with his research on evolution and natural selection; which he mentions that only the one who manages to adapt to the conditions that nature imposes on him remains.<br><br>Under this premise, the mural is inspired by the phrase: -"Adaptation depends on the pressure to which it is submitted"- showing with symbolic elements said action caused by forcing a figure to enter another; or, for forcing the human being to the new conditions of life</div>

<div>On this occasion we present @marzlunart, the first to support this project from the moment we told him about the problems experienced in Villas Otoch Paraíso and our intention to help improve conditions with artistic actions. He had the experience of participating in the Iztapalapa murals in Mexico City and seeing that the same problem is being experienced in Cancun, his response was immediate and he did not hesitate to be part of this movement. Thank you on behalf of all the children and neighbors who were involved both in the mural process and in the motivational talk for all the students in the workshops.<br><br>"Villa de Colores" paradigmatic project (this is how we received the comment of the Ingobernables to whom we send greetings) with the social integration between neighbors, institutions, businessmen, local merchants and the sum of artists who are leaving their mark on this largest Urban Gallery in Cancun! Awakening the interest of many managers and artists in being present in this "Villa de Colores" being a role model.<br><br>Villas Otoch Paraíso is a resilient area where few dare to go, that is where our management began as pioneers in filling this place with color where, beyond painting for tourism, we decided to paint for the less served society, having the highest rates in the city since the number of inhabitants to criminals.</div>

Memory looks back at us and we build a memory, repetition of signs, disjointed pieces of an image so large that we cannot see it in its entirety.<br><br>"And the world became a foreign country where there was no need to flee or return home"<br>E.

There are days that it gets dark earlier.

<div>"I really liked this project because it involves the fact of painting in places where art generally does not reach, therefore people value the work more" Puim pium.<br><br>“There are certain entropies and constant creations that are part of our internal cycles. Our task is to synchronize with them” Clarissa Pinkola.<br><br>With these strong and real messages we make the introduction...</div>

<div>The tradition in Japan on Children's Day is to hang Kionobori flags in the shape of a kite outside their houses, which are raised on May 5.<br><br>In Japan from April or early May they begin to put up their flags so that all their children grow up strong and healthy.<br><br>The Japanese associate this fish with children because of the strength they use to swim against the current.<br><br>In the process of this piece we had the integration of neighbors to paint with us. This is what we call appropriation of public space!</div>

<div>The Mayan civilization was one of the main ones that developed in ancient Mesoamerica. Culture very outstanding for its elaborate writing systems, numerical and for the use of the calendar, as well as for its impressive art and architecture. The ancient Maya are well known for their writing, as well as their advanced mathematical, astronomical, and calendrical calculations.<br><br>In the state of Quintana Roo there are countless archaeological sites that will make you relive part of our history.</div>

<div>"Villa de Colores" is becoming the largest urban gallery in Cancun, in this first stage 15 murals were made on the facades of the houses of Villas Otoch Paraíso, 3 inside @faroquintanaroo and 15 Graffiti and Muralism workshops .<br><br>As always we have artists who visit us from all over the world and on this occasion we had the opportunity to see Lud. We tell you a little about the history of this mural... The lady from one of the houses below has a small business where she sells bags of ice, she had a cardboard that said: Ice 5 pesos, Lud asks us if he could integrate a sign and be able to help the lady in this way with her venture. When the lady saw the sign, she asked that we remove the piece of cardboard that she had in her window. She now has a sign that is seen by all who appreciate the mural.</div>
