DOLORES MILENARIOS. Oleo sobre tela por Patricia Velasquez de Mera. Cherry Hill, 2001
nada soy o soy tan poco como una maceta discreta que olvidada y solitaria observa desde la ventana los transeúntes que pasan apenas soy en mi estancia la esquina fortuita de una casa ubicada en cualquier manzana poeta desencantada tomando notas fotografiando sonrisas con las pupilas cansadas para poder reflejarlas entre los versos del alba mientras los zapatos sangran por calles imaginarias largas calles no empedradas plagadas de dolor de desesperanza eso soy o no soy nada una huida permanente un paso en el andén constantemente un atardecer lleno de nubes sobre la playa de los indolentes nada soy o soy tan poco transparente anacoreta pintando sobre muros invisibles los rostros de otros bardos que no calzan en las listas repetidas en las alfombras purpúreas de los mercaderes de la humanidad Dagor Ab...

So, my dear Alastair, the Spanish title of this particular painting translates into English as "Millenary Pains". The loneliness of a mother, of the trees, of a poor child, of millions of forgotten citizens of the world... the unthinkable isolation, fear, and pain of the victim of a crime, are all as old as human life is... Do you see the young woman with fresh flowers on her lap? Well, she is in pain, too, for even love brings pain, and it has always been like that. The moon is also in pain, she is a solitary woman who can never reach the sun, but she hides her sadness becoming a mirror to share its light with us...
And, to soften the landscape, I have applied some make up on it with pastel colors... It isn't as simple as the explanation, but from it you may reach your own conclusions.
Thanks for your interest in my art.
I look forward to see you soon here in Raleigh.
