I wanted to pick
someone I admired and shared my cultural context with. This criterion is not so
that I can easily offer an idealised representation of my character, but for
the selfish purpose of discovering more about their every-day live. I believe it
will be more interesting for the readers to engage with a piece of writing
created by someone who is passionate about the subject from the beginning.
Poetry has helped me to understand the dynamics between the world and its written perceptions. Still, even a bibliographical truth is rather subjective under the hand of a poet. But, who is he when he drops the pen on the table until the next day? The answer is simple: the potential character of a true story:

Luis
Gracia Montero was my breaking point from classical poetry – his poem “Como
Cada Mañana” (As Each Morning) was my
only connection to contemporary poetry until recently. Montero executes his
profession as a professor at the University of Granada, where one of my
childhood friends is now studying (this give me a sense of comfort in case I am
in desperate need of primary sources.)
Nevertheless,
there is another possible character in my mind:
Francisco Catalan is a well-known artist within the Albacetense region
(Spain). This painter and designer caught my attention in his exhibition “La
Realidad Imaginada” (The Imagined Reality)
on the 6th of April, 2013. My fascination for his work compensates,
however, my lack of knowledge about his private life. Fortunately
Francisco is a resident from Yecla, which is barely 15 mins away from my
hometown. These geographical conveyances give me a (probably false) impression
of him being somehow approachable. It also offers me the (probably false too)
opportunity for research that will try to trespass beyond his artistic work and
into his countrymen word of mouth and shared stories with his
neighbours/friends/ bar partners/family, etc.
Being emotionally involved with what the works of Luis Garcia and Francisco Catalan represent in my understanding of the written and visual art, I am now felt to face my decision. Which man might become a better character to represent a fraction of his life?
