Adriana Antequera

It never has been easy to me to describe myself... but If I had to do it in just a few words... it would be something like this: "I'm a crazy unknown artist and poet, who beyond life and death... and the dark horizon of time...  still waiting in silence to find my own absurd road"... 

   Even when the last years I've been expressing myself through my paintings and drawings... Poetry was my real first love... in those years of darkness and lonelyness of my teenage years, poetry was my allied and the way I could scream my own feelings (and demonds)... It was the time I discovered William Blake and the French Symbolists poets thanks to Jim Morrison and The Doors.... all of them became in my literary influences... so I've been writing since then. For many years my poems were in Spanish....  and it hasn't been until last year that I dared to write in English (so please, forgive me and correct me all the mistakes I could make)

   My inspiration begins with dreams, images, music, simple words and every little thing around me... not in a conscious way... but no matter what I do, it's always following my own instincts... all my ideas are in my mind but then when they became into words, is just like putting and showing all my heart and soul on it. I don't discard to try writing novels and short stories in the near future (In fact, I have a few ideas I want to develope) but my mind is so "topsy-turvy" that I  need the structure (or the lack of it) to paint with words my sometimes abstract / sometimes realistic mind... 

   The little world inside of me trying to show itself to the outside,. I hope you like (and understand) all those fragments of my soul that I'm giving to you all...
