Sometimes what is obvious in hindsight, does not seem as obvious at the time. One of the major issues we all face time and time again, is a lack of perspective that ends up complicating things rather than making us effective.
This little video touches on 2 simple life lessons that we can do well to keep in mind, always.
You will find that with so little, you will be capable of accomplishing so much.
You probably never heard of her but she is young, interesting, and extremely talented.
She is base player Kinga Glyk and it is with great pleasure we introduce her in this Sunday Concert.
She is only 20, but she is already known worldwide as the bassist of a million clicks, due to her popularity in YouTube and other social media platforms.
But she is more than a SM hero or a pretty face, she is a talented musician with something to say.
And truly, that is all we need to know. Now, sit back and enjoy her in this concert, in Germany, from 2017.
From January to early March, 2018, I had the pleasure of exhibiting some of my work at Century Center in Crystal City, just off Ronald Reagan International Airport.
The XXVII Century Mill turned into a Cultural Center – hyattsownmill.org
Curator of this exhibition was Mr. Bobby Donovan.
Bobby is a respected artist and curator based in Maryland. He was the former Assistant Director of Art Programs at the University of Maryland, current curator of the Art Program at the Federal Court Complex at Greenbelt, has a busy professional career in the artistic arena, and runs hyattsownmill.org, an organization which has provided enriching artistic activities of all sorts (poetry, acting, painting and sculpture) within the Hyattsown to Frederick area of Maryland (just 40 minutes from DC) for many years.
Bobby, and his wife Cyndi, are two lovely, cultured and smart people with a deep commitment to cultural affairs, and it has been my absolute pleasure to meet them, work with them, and today being able to call them my friends.
Here is Bobby Donovan´s curatorial statement for my exhibition:

It is rather unusual for me to have a large number of small format original paintings in one place at the same time. But this is one of those unusual cases.
I have available right now in the DC area a number of small format pieces, painted on heavy paper, beautifully framed and ready to hang. These paintings were part of last year’s exhibition in Maryland and are right now under Curator Bobby Donovan’s care.
These are beautiful pieces, perfect for that special gift or as a great compliment to an office space or your own home. Being rather exceptionally sized paintings they are on sale at very interesting prices.
If you would like to receive a list of paintings available, prices and more photographs, kindly drop us a line at clombard@ignacioalperin.com or through the form on my website (www.ignacioalperin.com). We can deliver anywhere in the United States.
I will be in Washington for about a week at the end of April and I will be very happy to personally show you what they are all about. It will be very much worth your while to have a second look. It is not very often that paintings like these are available at these prices.
This is Jazz at the Lincoln Center, with Wynton Marsalis.

Ignacio Alperin is an international artist based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He grew up in Australia and has lived in several countries around the globe.
The selection of works in this exhibition were compellingly influenced by his synesthesia (”gift” he shares with Kandinsky).
His art is full of ideas, movement and visual interpretations of musical compositions -from Jazz, Soul, Motown and the American songbook, to Tango and the Classics-.
The end result is a visual idiom that borrows from the inventive and spontaneous methods of jazz musicians. This is so much so that his style has been often described as a visual kind of jazz, or “Visual Jazz”.
We find in his paintings a marked rhythmic musicality and improvisational counterpoints, which are always based on a well thought-out idea.
While his robust use of an extended palette extracts unthought-of shades and gradations that have become a signature and a characteristic of his bold and powerful style.
SOBRE EL ARTISTA
Ignacio Alperin es un artista internacional basado en Argentina, país que lo vio nacer.
Creció en Australia y ha vivido en varios países alrededor del mundo.
La selección de obras que se presentan en esta exposición estuvo fuertemente influenciada por su sinestesia (“regalo” que comparte con Kandinsky).
Su arte se nutre en gran parte de las ideas, movimientos e interpretaciones visuales que extrae de composiciones musicales -desde el Jazz, Soul, Motown y el cancionero americano, hasta el Tango y la música clásica-.
El resultado final es el de un lenguaje visual que extrae lecciones de los métodos inventivos y espontáneos de los músicos, y particularmente del jazz. Tal es así, que en numerosos artículos, su estilo ha sido descripto como un manera visual de hacer Jazz, o “Visual Jazz”.
