TROPICAL HAPPINESS

Ok. I know. This is not an eatable food exactly, doesn´t it? But, I would like to tell how did I ended with this photo. And this story starts in Rio de Janeiro. I moved to Brazil for a month. Why? Because  I used to worked with my laptop in several cities. So, I met a lot of coffees looking for a place to work. Anyway, Rio was too dangerous to take my laptop with me every moment. So, it was Saturday. I remember that I had this terrible hangover cause of the urban caipirinhas that I took the other night. Also I felt a little bit weird because this city was not like Buenos Aires and actually I just met a couple of persons. I wasn't so popular. Nevertheless, I went out of my appartment, trained some exercises at the gym and when I got into the street, there was it. One of the most eccentric Urban Markets in front of my surprised eyes. There was a long time that I haven't see one of these markets. In Perú, there are everywhere. Lima is almost a kind of jungle market but since I started to live in Buenos Aires, I didn't see one like this before.
This was a long very long market full of artisans and street sellers. Yelling and calling me all the time so I could by them products. For many other people this experience could be awful, but for me I was in my f***in´paradise. I mean, I started to see all the products colors that they were selling. I got approached and I started to enjoy the amazing colors that each product had. I started to smell these products too. So, several groups of ideas began to get into my mind. I was inspired by this Urban Market, by their colors, by their people, by their shouting and yelling and by their own culture. Brazil is freshness, is exotic, is colorful and it´s f***in´ tasty. If someone ask me what happiness is...I think that this moment is very close to that meaning. This is my Tropical Happiness. And all the effort and energy that took me to make this art filled that moment totally.
