I remember reading something like this somewhere: “The heart is the only broken instrument that works”. That idea inspired the piece below titled El Corazon.
Nothing makes you grow more than the process of healing a broken heart.
If your heart has been broken once or twice or several times, put the pieces back together and keep making your music.
that is soooo beautifull…
c’est absolument sublime!
I ll buy one (if you sell them?)
a truly beautiful description of a complex and utterly heart stopping piece of art.
I love the music hearts make and am so fortunate to be able to hear it almost everyday
You made me smile, Elsa. I love the delicate way you have to turn things into poetry, those ramifications and how they connect to the hole body, the way you pick up that contour and how you find light in these little places of shade. I love it even more when your words agree with your work.It´s very reassuring. :o)
This was a beautiful post, visually and in thought.
simply beautiful.
What an absolutely beautiful piece of artwork and an amazing post. It was just what my heart needed today! Thank you 🙂
Oh how I love this post. Everything about it.
Thank you amiga bonita for sharing your astounding art work, and your very sensitive words. They struck a cord with me today. I believe today you are el mensajero de Dios. Hope I got that right. xxoo
As a child I was incredibly shy and timid. I feared rejection and judgement and it stopped me from doing the things I really wanted to do. Thankfully as an adult I am comfortable in my own skin. This delicate piece of artwork speaks volumes to me. Thank you.
“By getting rid of your fears and your insecurities you liberate your heart so it becomes easier to connect with everything around you, but most importantly with other people and with yourself.”
Thank you for putting this into words and images, and sharing it with all of us.
I really like what you do! Your work is incredible, so many details, so many ideas, fantasy that it seems almost impossible. And this post of yours is absolutely true for me today when I have problems with my boyfriend and we are most likely to part soon. It makes me sad but I’ll just repeat that the heart is the only instrument that works. Thank you!
Wow…that is amazing.
oh wow.. the detail is simply unbelievable.
love your attention to details
Elsa,

Elsita,
Thank you so much for sharing with us your feelings, thoughts and art. I read nearly daily your blog and it is always a deep moment.
I hardly find the exact words to describe what I feel. You found them :o)
Warm wishes,
Elsa
Such expression in both your beautiful art piece and your words. How I love both. Thank you for sharing such truth.
AWE!
this piece leaves me speechless! well, almost, since i really felt the need to comment. it’s beautiful and i’m completely enamored by your work.

you made my day:)
Wow…I am blown away. This is absolutely gorgeous.

Your papercut work is stunning ! I’ll come back for sure !
“Holy Mom”
That was my first reaction when I saw El Corazon. A first-timer of your blog, but am already swept off my feet by your technique, and better still, the concept behind each piece. Subscribed! 🙂
I have to say I very much agree to what you said about Broken hearts. What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger, yet it’s also not as harsh and animalistic as it sounds because going through these ups and downs are the beauty of life.
I was a bit behind on browsing the paper cutting blog, but as I scrolled along reading about this piece I had tears in my eyes for how moving it was. Your work is so often extremely mesmerizing, but this one really hit meant a great deal to me TODAY. Thank you!
Stunningly beautiful and powerful!
“Only we know what we want, what we need and what we can do…”
How do you know? How do you heal? The piece is beautiful.
i like this part of the post:”I remember reading something like this somewhere: “The heart is the only broken instrument that works” I liked this idea because it is so true.” is very good
I also have my heart broken several times .. but this last time I could not cure it completely … I learned a lot …. I have gone ahead with many personal goals .. but there are still sentimental things I should fix it! but an advice to all is to always go ahead and just think of yourselves! that’s what matters !!!!!
