𝗜𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗪⁣ ⁣ It’s 1 am and I’m thinking of my life. I feel gratitude for all the things that are happening, the people coming in and out of my life, the good and bad experiences; as growth comes from all kinds of moments, I think of solitude , I think of soul mates, I think of breath, the earth, my feet on it, my soul, my heart, my children, my nonstop beating heart even when heavy, my eyes even when teary, my skin even when changing, my lips even when wet, my freckles that account for every year of life like a ring is to the trees, my sweat as accountable for my actions, the discovery I’m seeking, the loss I feel sometimes that teaches me to love the gains, catching the tail end of what I have journeyed and walked through rocks and freezing rivers, if you only knew what goes on with people in their truth. ⁣ ⁣ If you only knew what river runs through me, how marvelous it is that we can’t step in the same river twice. My feet are not tired of walking they are ready to keep climbing, my breath is not fast because of exhaustion but because of excitement of what’s to come. My hands are ready to grasp the wind and the sunsets in mountains, my words that help me communicate. Words and their weight, stars and their gaze. ⁣ #ranting ⁣ ⁣ Happy Sunday peeps! ⁣ Xoxo⁣ Lara⁣ ⁣ #laraalcantara #lamascool #artistavenezolana #artistaenny #siguiendoviviendoexperiencias #experiencinglife #lovingmyselfbigtime #venezuelanartist #venezuelaninartbasel #venezuelanarristmiami #nyphotographer (at The Journey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChhpWsfuRDs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The force of an untamed wild animal is about to spread wings again. The law of attraction is beginning to feel real again. She bent over the dishes and thought. Break them as the eager many soul of her fractured steps decided to brake some plates and brake the mold again. ⁣ ⁣ The path now cleared up with the winds pushing dust into specs and making them disappear. ⁣ ⁣ This shall become a large spotted tree of growth in the jungle she called herself. !!!!! ⁣ ⁣ 𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗘? ⁣ ⁣ Xoxo⁣ Lara⁣ ⁣ #laraalcantara #photographerinny #laraalcantaraphotography #artsitavenezolana #venezuelanartist #fotografaenny #upandcomingaryistinny #newlatinaartist #venezuelanphotographer (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChZnKIJOEZu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘.. She Started taking her clouds and diagnosing them and putting them into their right place. Fixing and reorganizing to create harmony. Inner harmony. She dismembered the clouds and analyzed them. When is it too much? So many tears evaporated and made clouds rumble and tumble with winds blowing and turning. Reading, contemplating, reorganizing, understanding and placing priorities. Trying to keep myself in the present and not the future or the past. Forgiving herself. Knowing and understanding that she did things out of a place of love. The judgement of others are not her problem. If they liked her or not wasn’t Hers to decipher. She lived under her rules, she lived with her heart in her hands, and loved blindly. Happy Monday guys! Healing is a thrill!!!! Take the time to heal yourself and the relationship with YOU!

𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗, 𝗠𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠⁣ ⁣ Running through this space of rumbles and tumbles. 🌧 Trying to make sense of my life as I live it⁣ Head in the clouds, Storms of thoughts and memories⁣ I will take care of this cloud that has temperaments and is trying to tell her story.⁣ She is mine to take care of⁣ I have been blessed to live and LOve in my temple. ⁣ Seeing first hand what silence creates in us. ⁣ It creates a war to end the evading situations that actually are sitting there in the waiting room, waiting to be seen and diagnosed. ⁣ ⁣ I will remember this time with myself as a very important part of my process and my learnings as I move into the next chapter of my life. ⁣ ⁣ Xoxo ⁣ From vero beach art residency ⁣ ⁣ Lara #laraalcantara #artresidency #artistinresidence #artistaenresidencia #artistaenflorida #venezuelanartist #venezolanaennuevayork #fotografavenezolana #artistavenezolana #wegrowlatinaartist #artistupandcoming (at 𝑰𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzEuZmuF8M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡.. Wow and here we go again. To be honest I didn’t think this would happen again after two years. The process of changing is never ending, but when our energies are scattered in many places and you forget again to respect you, to love you, to understand that You are the most important thing in your world. ✋ STOP… take a breath… listen… feel. To be honest I’m a little lost again. And I have come to an understating with myself that that is ok. That I just have to show up for myself most importantly listen to my heart. The path got erased as I walked, the roughness of my souls became greater and more acute, the drumming of my heart became faint, I still can listen to myself screaming in the middle of so many things.. “Hey! I’m still here! Are you ready?” I realized I’ve been looking away and pretending unconsciously that everything is fine. Hitting July was the scream ! It’s been a rough six months, mixed with ups and downs, heartache and pain, loss and yearning, melancholic moments and great successes. Maybe they could have been bigger but I must be LOVE and say “you did well… “ The process is real again, looking for silence, looking for LARA, looking for peace of mind. Leaving the most important part of me in this process is the hardest thing. My heart grieves and suddenly screams, it will wait. Just be calm, just believe. Believe in what you manifested in 2020 is still here. Just waiting for you to fix yourself. Starting residency on Tuesday. Making new work is my healing. Being in artist mode is my healing. I will come back stronger, and I am a believer that the Universe has my back. Thanks for reading!

𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧… Six months ago I embarked in the idea of being a part of an art show that made sense for me. @theotherartfair is a place for artists, not for show off, not for competition, not for only collectors or fancy shmancy. It’s a place for art lovers, and people who believe in us artists as innovators, mind set changers and believers of pure magic. It’s a place to dream big, to show yourself as who you are and not have someone else say or make you who you are to please others. It made sense! I applied and got accepted from over 300 artists that applied. Then won the spot to represent the fair with the @hoxtonhotel family in my neighborhood of williamsburg!!! Set out to understand my art as an entity, as my career for a living, as the place where I want to be. I opened my company, open my business account and started in the venture of understanding organization, strategy and lots of LOVE for myself and who I came to this world to be. I want people to have my work on their walls, to smile when they see it, to wake up and contemplate it in their space. I want to live off what I most love. Being an artist or anything you do in life isn’t easy, but if you love it… it’s a blast! And that is the best job ever! Thank you the whole team @theotherartfair for believing in us! #artfairnyc #theotherartfairnyc #saatchiartist #saatchigallery #laraalcantara #pinkjacket #millyclothes #icpalumni #nyualumni #cindysherman Thank you @saatchiart for posting my image on such an incredible change of a lifetime day for me!

𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘…⁣ ⁣ I have a feeling of coming back home. Of coming back to my basics, of being there in that place where I have been longing to be at. Where things start to make sense, where I start to make sense to myself. ⁣ ⁣ Where I have understood that In some eyes I will be the monster and in some I will be the savior, where some might think I have no heart , but others might say “you are my heart” , how we create everything we have, we see, we feel, we are so powerful in our own minds that we can manifest change. ⁣ ⁣ I know and understand that I am a good person, that I am who I am because I am strong and have shed through everything I have been through. Because I know that I am willing to embrace change. That I want to feel again like I belong in this place. ⁣ ⁣ I am a person who loves and has loved with her whole heart, that the people that exist in my life are part of me, that I love them dearly. That when I walk barefoot I walk in awe of my own path. That I am the woman I want to be even though I have gone through the adversities of that rocky road, I have felt my bones cracking, and melting with despair. But everything, believe me everything happens for a reason. ⁣ ⁣ I have been shaken up many times and I think I truly now deserve good love, big love and I open my arms and embrace that moment.

𝗣𝗜𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧 ⁣ ⁣ And this time around she came to the pivoting point. Where the esoteric joins the magical idea. I am feeling in such a place or time that I can change reality with much less effort than from any other “place and time”.⁣ ⁣ We intuitively feel the pivot points. That is why “a new life” for us “begins” on Monday (next month, next year, … next spouse). That is why sunrises and sunsets, solar eclipses and travel to extraordinary places inspire us.⁣ ⁣ Writing gives me the opportunity as my self-expression and reflection ⁣ ⁣ One of the things I share with my students every time. ⁣ ⁣ Thank uuuu Life for giving me so much to learn from. ⁣ ⁣ Xoxo much love ⁣ Brooklyn ⁣ Lara #artista #artistavenezolana #represion #femalebound #laraalcantara #venezolanaenny #risktaker #riskingeverything #nyhotographer #tatemodern #momaps1 #momaps1nyc #whitneybiennial #artexpression #artismyreligion (at Cross Roads) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbp_2DROEw8/?utm_medium=tumblr

𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗨𝗧.. Once she digested the situation and held on tight to the moonlight, she took to her body and danced it all out. She screamed to the skies and the ✨ stars, she sang from the deepest of her lungs 🎶 she moved to the rhythm of the clouds that were being led by the wind. We who are here, we who are strong and bold. Decisions have to be made for you. LOVE … I choose love. I choose Me. The sounds of the howling wolves 🐺 on top of the mountains we climbed. We’re resonating to the beat of the drums 🪘. She was excited that she would be close to the ocean once more. Waking up with the sun and her bare feet in the sand. To meditating syllables of salt water. Heart ♥️ open in the space. Love from Brooklyn today and Florida tomorrow.
