In these times of crisis, which is not sold or broom, there is a kind of people able to remain true to their principles, love of art and not give up.
True survivors in this society where it seems that the values ​​lie in the strength of the economy, leaving aside the spiritual side.
Nicholas of Maya, a 23-year career behind him, has become such a character that every morning he wakes up with a new project in his mind, constantly reinventing itself and trying to hold onto their land, without thinking for a moment to make the suitcase.
"As we all know that right now the basic needs are not met, as is the case with love and money jumping out the window when they are scarce, it happens in art, which is on one side.
But, we believe that our vital energy is the 'creation', we know that no lovers and we can not betray it.
So we reinvent ourselves every day, adapting to the dramatic changes that have shaken our society today, "says the artist.
Nicholas of Maya remains true to his dream, his life, the world of art, knowing the wrong time taking place in the sector.
"The only real difference from one time to this part is economic, since it allows you to develop your artistic projects smoothly.
When things flow, grow.
Now this dynamic has changed.
Now the demand is much higher, is challenging because it forces you to get your true creative values.
This limitation makes you grow internally. "
But Nicholas did not see the glass half empty, as some might think.
"Crises are not bad at all, because they help us to constantly be looking for alternatives to different situations.
We are at the limit, it is true, but we can not step back if you do not want to fall into the precipice.
We always have to look forward.
Art has overcome wars and catastrophic times, but still here, as human beings and their values.
Always be positive, because right now, the crisis is taking the essence of all creative people. "
Maya says that "every day I see an opportunity to go there, to keep creating.
In the end everything is imagination and fantasy, and this has limits.
In fact I just opened a monumental sculpture in Pilar de la Horadada, using the 26 Anniversary of the municipality with respect to segregation of Orihuela, which welcomes all visitors to the great park of The Arts.
The work, called 'The Thinker Wind', is very symbolic, since it refers to this social moment, making ideas, like the east wind, flowing through it and ordering the imaginary world of each human being. "
But that is not here, since the artist has ceheginero an agenda that does not fit or a stroke and more ink in each of his days.
"I am very happy and passionate about the big project I've been developing for a year and half.
This will be an important starting point in my life as an artist, being the capital of our region the first area to be displayed at Christmas.
I will not give details, but I can assure you will have a big impact. "
Amidst historic old town of Cehegin, is the studio / workshop of Nicholas of Maya, where ideas become reality this artist, who, despite his relative youth, and presumed to have taken his art to Mexico, Brazil , New York, London and Austria, among others.
"The richness of life is the journey, the road.
Hopefully that is eternal. "
