One night, during a raging storm, Julia was about to fall from the treewhere she was climbing. When he was close to giving up and fallingfrom more than 100 meters high, she heard what was later called "the
voice of Luna", saying that "only the rigid branches are broken, theflexible survive."
Completely abandoned Julia stopped fighting against the forces ofnature, and following the advice heard approached youngest branches
where he remained until the storm ended.
Regarding his relationship with animals, she tells us that insects wereyour greatest teachers. In early bites suffered all kinds of spiders, wasps,bees and ants. Once, when a spider fell on his head told Julia, "I realizedthat day that spiders are an integral part of the forest, and have a higher
purpose than mine to be here. At the time left from "bothering".

As an artist I am always trying new techniques andways to express myself. The pyrography has been a
medium that has allowed me to draw, give relief andwoodworking, while I connect with this ancienttradition which dates from the origin of man.
Personally, I bet by the pyrography as the means toproject my images, using the genres that characterize
and represent me: Expressionism, Surrealism andMagic Realism.

Pyrography has been practiced by many culturesincluding the Egyptians and some African tribes since
the beginning of time. This technique dates back toprehistoric times when early humans created designsusing the remains of the fire hot. In China, during the
Han Dynasty this method known as "embroidery
needles of fire." Thus, the ancient technique ofpyrography is considered a traditional legacy thatemploys the use of heat to burn on different surfaces
such as paper, cardboard or wood.
