Who am I
Where does my strength comes?
. . . a thorn was stuck in my flesh and torments me;
three times I asked God to take the pain away,
he answered: My Grace is enough for you . . .
from St. Paul's 2nd letter to the Corinthians
Semblance
After an almost 40 years successful executive career, neuritis imprisoned me in my eyes, but could not stop my soul; It's not the visual weakness, it's my strength that defines me. An artist who lived in me, with a severe visual impairment and no artistic training, was released.
I don't portray reality, rather I express what I have inside. To quote the Fox Caracter from the book The Little Prince: "only with the heart can you see well, the essential is invisible to the eyes;" and this+ combination of severe visual impairment and business experience, gives me a better.
understanding of people.
I am Luis Guillermo Víquez S., artist, expert in senior management and fighter for the inclusion of people with disabilities.
¿de dónde proviene mi fuerza?
. . una espina me fue clavada en la carne
y me atormenta, tres veces rogué a Dios
que me la quitara, y el contestó: te basta con mi gracia . .
De la 2ª carta de San Pablo a los Corintios
Quien soy
Después de una carrera ejecutiva de casi 40 años, la neuritis me encerró en mis ojos; más no pudo encarcelar mi alma; tardé un poco en comprender que no es mi discapacidad visual, sino mi fortaleza la que me define; y con ese pensamiento se liberó una nueva persona; un artista sin formación artística y con discapacidad visual, que no retrata la realidad, más bien plasmo lo que sale del alma, que en general es invisible para los ojos. Esta combinación de experiencia y discapacidad visual me da un entendimiento más completo de la vida y el mundo
