Some about me

Hi everyone, I'm Mariana Vergara, violin student of the Art faculty of Universidad de Chile.

I was born in Rancagua on January 12th, 1990. Rancagua it's a nice place, but too small compared to Santiago, only had a population of 225.563 in 2017. 


I'm the youngest of three brothers, all of they are scientists; my older brother Rafael and José Luis, the younger one after me, are chemicals. Roberto, the middle brother studied forest engineering and he was a boxer, he won the South American amateur boxing championship in light weight, years ago. Sadly, for my all family, he died four years ago...life it's not the same after that...He had one child, my niece Tanita. I love she.

About my parents; my mom is pinter, she studied art and theory and art history. My dad worked in Codelco, in the foundry Teniente. They gave everything for us.

I started to play violin when I was 13 years old. My dream was to play the music of Sailor Moon, I never imagined that I would play that music and much more.

My hobbies are taking care of plants and drawing.

My favorite violinist

Imagen
  Today I’ll talk you about my favorite violinist, Itzhak Perlman. He’s one of the greatest and most famous violinist of the 20th century and today. His performances are extraordinary and charged with deep emotion and ease. He became ill with poliomyelitis when he was 4 years old, for this reason he must use crutches to move and for this reason he plays violin sitting down (the solo violinist always perform standing up, and in fact it’s practiced standing up, for this many violinist suffer from varicose veins) Also, he have synesthesia, which allows him to hear colors and see music; we can see him talk about it in an interview for Tasting the Universe by Maureen Seaberg. He studied at the Tel Aviv Music Adacemy, before moving to the United States. At the age of 13 he entered the famous Julliard School, where he studied with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay, great pedagogues in the violin world. When I was a child I listened to many interpretations of Itzhak Perlman, which ha...

Time travel

Time travel...I would love to travel to the past, to the time of the dinosaurs and travel through different places of the earth, and different moments of that remote past. I would like to be protected from any being, just to see it as a kind of floating ghost. I would like to do this trip mostly out of curiosity, to see the creatures that once inhabited the earth, and clearly, I would not like to stay there! it is a very strange time and there are no other humans to share with... I would also like to travel to the future, to the limits of mankind's existence, to see what our last epoch in this universe is like. I imagine that future may be far away or maybe not so far away, who knows. I wouldn't like to stay in that future either, because I would be far away from the people I love and besides, if the end of humanity is near, I don't think it would be a very friendly future to decide to stay there. Undoubtedly, many things have been lost in the past that we will never be...

Tea

  I love tea, actually, I'm drinking tea right now writing this blog post. Tea is a cold, warm or hot beverage, as you prefer, but it's more common to drink it hot or warm. It's made with traditional black tea leaves, but it can be made with other types of tea, such as green, white, red and others. It can also be made with herbs such as chamomile, boldo, mint, etc. Another format is the mixed one, for this we need some tea base and mixed with other ingredients such as vanilla, cardamom, cloves, etc.   My favorite tea is the traditional black tea, the simplest, it could be Club in bag. But I like other more special teas such as gray tea and my favorite: Södermalm mix. This tea contains Indian black tea, orange peels, marigold, rose and mallow petals, vanilla sticks and papaya pieces… I love it, and with dark chocolate (or bitter chocolate, whatever you prefer to call it) makes any moment perfect. I prefer tea to other beverages, because I don't like sweet drink...
