This painting is titled Cambio de Luces after a Spanish story by Julio Cortazar. In the story the main character is a voice actor for a soap opera on the radio called Parrots in the Storm (ha). He receives a letter from a woman who wants to meet him. He starts to imagine her so much so that when they meet his goal is to slowly mold her into the woman he imaged her to be. The main part of his fantasy that when he imagined her writing him letters there was a soft light that she next to that softly lit her face. He is so crazy that he starts changing the lights in their apartment and when she can't even see to read he says, "I don't see what the big deal is read by the window!"(ha again) By the time he has molded her into his perfect woman she has went out and found a man that is exactly what she imagined our main character to be and is cheating on him! I titled my painting after this story because there is the created light that we have manufactured and then there is the sunlight which is lighting the light now. We create our form of light that distorts color and will never match the beauty of natural light.
