ESTEBAN OCAMPO GIRALDO
ONE DAY:
ESTEBAN OCAMPO GIRALDO
The painter takes us along for one day in his Colombian hometown, complete with a studio tour and a Neruda-worthy sunset.
6:15 AM
First thing I do when I wake up in Manizales, my hometown in Colombia, is to check if it's raining, and then I take my dog Cosmo (from Cosmo Kramer) for a quick walk before having breakfast.
7:00 AM
Then I go play tennis at this time pretty much every day. On this particular day, I played so well my opponent broke his tennis racquet. What a shame :(
11:00 AM
A quick tour around my studio. I'll eventually bring the walls down so I can make it a bit bigger!
11:15 AM
Here's a close up of the piece I'm currently working on! Also . . . I shaved!!!
11:30 AM
Here's a view from my studio.
The weather today was beautiful, so later on, I'll meet with some friends to watch the sunset. Pablo Neruda, the famous poet, called Manizales a sunset factory.
6:30 PM
Me and some friends on a hill waiting for the sun to set.
