I studied engineering in the national university, the Universidad Autonoma, in San Ildefonso. There is art everywhere, murals on the walls. It's beautiful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I studied engineering in the national university, the Universidad Autonoma, in San Ildefonso.
Some of modern engineering is necessary to good art. But I think of myself is a cultural artist.
The artistic part of us all - I think that the easiest way to appreciate this - is through architecture. Architecture is very impressive; the beauty of buildings, temples.
If people want to see Beaux-Arts, it's fine with me. I'm interested in good architecture as anybody else.
I'm quite into the idea of engineering being beautiful.
The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds.
I have a passion for modern and contemporary art. I spend a lot of time in museums; I particularly like the Guggenheim, MoMA in New York or LACMA and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, for example. I cannot wait for the Louis Vuitton Foundation to open.
I never studied sculpture, engineering or architecture. In fact, after college I applied to seven art schools and was rejected by all seven.
I went to a private school in Singapore and they had an incredible arts program. Every day I was doing something artistic.
My initial plan was to spend a year in France, go to some kind of school and learn a bit of French. I went a year in an American college in the outskirts of Strasbourg, but got a glimpse of a real art school, L'Ecole des Arts Decoratifs, and enrolled the following year.
