All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
I intend to share experiences with the sole purpose of connecting with the talent and passion that inspires deep down, of artists like Deredia on the world stage from Rome, as well as any moment, person or circumstance that reminds us how [...]
Today we barely arrived in Rome and in the cab to the hotel we passed in front of the Roman Colosseum, which was the backdrop for three monumental sculptures by our compatriot and friend, Jorge Jimenez Deredia. What a pride for Costa [...]

Wisdom, by Andrew Zucherman, is a book in my hands that has made me want more gray hair and wrinkles on my face. How wonderful! Age will bring wisdom and all its marks on our faces, yet more importantly, the sensitivity to [...]
I have not been able to decide. I am fascinated by the first light of day and I love the sky when the sun goes down. Which one do you like the most? Which is your most memorable sunrise? And which sunset? [...]
