Chantal Akerman was born in Brussels on June 6, 1950. She was a very talented artist, director and film writer who from an early age became interested in the audiovisual world and started making her own films. At 18 years old, Akerman had finished his first movie: "Saute ma ville". Akerman was daughter of Auschwitz survivors, and her family's experiences influenced her work, especially the relationship she had with her mother. Her films used themes such as the feminine role and the social perspective of women, sexuality, isolation and exclusion policies. Chantal Akerman has been an inspiring woman to me, for her talent, courage to leave her country following her dreams and her empathy to listen to people and portray their lives in a unique way in her films.
One of the great artists that has inspired me is Nemesio Antunez, who excelled in multiple cultural areas, especially in the area of engraving, where he experimented with various techniques.In 1956, he returned to Chile and founded Workshop 99 in Santiago, where he set out to replicate the experience of "Atelier 17". This new space became one of the most relevant instances for engraving instruction and practice in Chile, in which relevant artists such as Roser Bru, Dinora Doudchitzky, Eduardo Vilches and Juan Downey participated.
I admire Nemesio Antunez, since, throughout his career, he carried out various artistic actions, which included teaching and dissemination of art, leadership positions and political positions
Tomas S. Monson, was a church leader who greatly inspired my life, he was the president of the church that I attend. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, yes, it is a somewhat extensive name, but what is important is the prophet era, that is, the representative of God on earth. He was a very humble and helpful person, he forgot himself for helping others and did so until the last day of his life. But what inspired me the most was his ability to love. He was so things in his live, but the most important for me, was his life as a priest I learned to know a heavenly father who loves me, to feel that he was a daughter of God and to know my potential to always be very happy.
Pancha Nuñez or Francisca Nuñez Vasquez, is a Chilean artist born in Colina in 1961. I have been inspired by her artistic work and above all by her biography, like her without knowing anything and coming from poverty, showing up at her entrance exam only with what she had in the house, like craft paper and tempera (in comparison to her classmates who had sheets of paper and different types of paintings), and how today she recognizes herself as an artist, maintaining her peculiarity. What inspires me most is that she teaches me that no matter what the circumstance, or that you don't have the same knowledge as your classmates, with decision and dedication to what you want, you can be better than someone who had a better education.
One of the persons that inspires me is Leonardo Da Vinci. He was a creator who lived in the fifteenth century. He was an architect, painter, writer, philosopher, scientific, and also studied a lot of other stuff. I like him because he was an inventor, and created a lot of things that were unthinkable at the time he lived. He also studied body proportions so as to be applied in different kinds of works, like the paintings he did and in his other research. He expanded the knowledge of how things could be made in a new and better way than they were used to be and, for example, achieved the best use of the materials so as to get the minimum waste when doing a job. In fact, things could be more comfortable for the people if the right measures are used. One of the things I like most about Leonardo Da Vinci is that he was able to do a lot of inventions and research in many fields, and stayed curious through his life .
a person who has inspired my life is Vincent Van Gogh. he was a poor painter that sold only one painting in all his life. But he loved painting, he used art as form to express his feelings, and lived a catharsis when he made his works. He learned many painting and drawing techniques in his quest to become an artist, he tried with the artistic trends like impressionism, expressionism, fauvism and others, but i feel that Van Gogh created his own trend a type of art that is unique. I had the chance to travel to New York and i saw real works made by Van Gogh, that was so awesome and a transcendental experience for me. He inspired me with his Tormented life, and above all, to be a more open-minded person about the art. witout his works i would never had appreciated all the art that exist.
I admire Maria Teresa Ruiz, the first woman to win the national prize for exact science. She was born 24 September 1946 on Santiago of Chile. She was started study in program in engineering at the University of Chile in 1966, continued her studies in the newly founded astronomy program, and was the first person to graduate from this program. Maria teresa Ruiz became the first woman to obtain a PhD in astrophysics at Princeton University. She worked in different countries and several scientific research, has enormous success since she started as an astronomer, she won several awards and is the president of the Chilean Academy of science. I admire this woman for many reasons but the most important is she redefined the role of women in astrophysics.
I admire Frida Kahlo, she was a painter from Mexico. Why? well, i always think in the her difficults, but than that, i admire frida kahlo because she was creative and she didn't let that her problems with her body like fractures will cause that she wasn't always painting. She led to the picture her own emotions, in a special way, with metaphors: for example, she built an alter ego. Other case about her pictures, is that she can to show the problems with gender issues, for example she painted about a killer or the thing that we knows like a femicide. This painting wasn't exactly a feminist act, but in my opinion,was a political act and Frida Kahlo was very brave for confront her own world and the society.
One person who has inspired me has been Rosalind Franklin. She was born in England, London in the 1920's. At 17 she applied to study at Cambridge University, where she finally studied. She was a chemist who discovered the structure of DNA. Although her images were stolen and at first, she was not recognized as the discoverer, she continued her research until she won the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine. During her time at the university, she was always at the forefront and fought and did everything she wanted despite the fact that at that time, women were very despised. All her life, although it was short because she died at the age of thirty-eight, was around science and she never let herself be defeated, always fighting for her ideals and work.
One of the persons that inspires me is Farid Dieck. He is from Mexico and he has 23 years olds. He dedicated to uploading motivational talks on his social networks. His life has been very hard, very difficult situation have happened, such as the death of his brother. However, due to the sadness of this process, he decided to be a social person, always looking for his actions to have an positive impact on the other people. In this way, he helps with conference, poems, and songs, that he himself writes and composes so that the people who follow him can build the best version of themselves. He inspires me because each publication helps me to be more optimistic and understand that perfection doesn’t exist. I invite you to follow him on Instagram. His account is @faridieck, all the videos are very interesting.
For me is Frank Lloyd Right, who was a very important architect and I admire him for various reasons, first he was a very good architect and his work are really impresive and technicaly ingenious, the second is that theyr architeture was very harmonious with the context, this is one of the most important things to me and the main reason is that he was believer, he believed in God, and his architecture reflected all that thought. I remember that i read one of their essays and I was impressed with his reflection about the life and how that thought affected his work, from these ideas come the respect for the environment, and he inspired me in my spiritual life and my future jos as architect.
The person who has inspired me is Isabel de Castilla, best known as the first strong queen of occident. I admire because her temperament in those times: She impose her right to reign the kingdom of Castilla over Fernando de Aragón, her husband, who for being a men suppose to reign there.
She also support the trip to Indias that turned out in the “discovery” of a new continent, and was the first to recognized the dignity of American native people (that was a modern believes in those times).
I think she could be considered a feminist woman, because she never let the members of the court take the decisions for her, she got always the last word and took the decisions by her self, even if Fernando was not always agree with. She was thinking all the time in give to her people the best, and I think she did. That desire of justice, the strength, mind clarity, and prudence are the virtues I admire the most about her.
A person who inspires me is Rick Riordan. He was born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1964. He is a teacher and writer who wrote mostly about Greek, Egyptian, Nordic and Roman mythology for kids and teenagers. Riordan was really into a kids with special needs like THDA, autism, dyslexic and so on. He got inspired by them to write his books when he has to deal with them. All his characters were based on each one of his students like Percy Jackson who has THDA and dyslexia and is Greek God’s son. I admired him because he never forgets his students. His books are designed for them. Also, they teach mythology in a fun way! He is the best.
The truth is, I don't have a specific person who has inspired me. Throughout my life, I have followed the work of many people who have helped me grow and become who I am now. However, there is one artist that I admire very much, and that is my teacher Paula Torres. Her work and dedication in Chile, make her recognizable in the music world, particularly as a choral conductor - she also has a degree in orchestral conducting. I have been lucky enough to be able to share her art since I was a child, and now also her teaching. Without a doubt, I hope one day to have the strength and capacity that she has as an artist.
