An artist I admire

There are many artist that I admire, musicians and visual artists, but today I'm gonna talk about the big one. Like, you can't say art without him.

The thin white duke, David Bowie. He died this year, in January and I was very sad, he was ill for a long time, he had cancer, and his last album was totally a goodbye from him. Still, his death was something that, like a fan, you think can't happen. And I think that even now, Bowie is not really dead. That Bowie will never die.

I really admire him 'cause Bowie was a complete artist, he was an amazing, wonderful and powerfull musician and compositor, but also was a visual artist, you can notice it everywhere in his works, and an actor. He played roles in some movies and his influence in society, music, cinema, and art in general is unique. He was a very provocative artist, he created many different "ages" in his albums and with that, various interesting characters, like Ziggy Sturdust. His performance at stage was something from other world, specially for the 70's.

Bowie's art works are very dense conceptual and intellectually. He sang and played differents intruments. He taked music and performances to new dimentions, and practically created glam rock. 

When I knew his music for the very first time, and later his art, I was very young and it went right to my heart. It changed a lot my way of understading everything. I always dreamed about seeing Bowie at a concert and my heart is kind of broken now.
