May

My name is Mayra, so called May. I'm always been passionate about art and sciences. Though, I happen to be a university teacher in my home town. My first close encounter with art was through performance. I love aerials and I used to practice aerial dance and acrobatics. This gave me the strenght and confidence to express myself through my body. However, one day during practice, I fell from a silk and I broke my cervical bones. I knew then, It was the end of acrobatics. There was no way of getting back with a broken neck and crocked back bone. So, ignorant of painting styles, techniques, materials May started to explore through colors another side of her mind. Recovery was not easy, yet observing and learning about her universe gave her self expression back. She noticed her universe is full of colors, some bright like fire or dark as the depth the cosmos. She got an ally, The Astronaut. She sized her lense to understand what was going on. At the end, May started to translate what The Astronaut saw. And, Mayra, May the artist was born.
