It has always struck me the conciseness and efficiency
of the English language.
In Spanish FUN is “Divertido”, in French: “Amusant”
and in German must be something like “Subentrujenbajenwienerstrudel”.
Yet, FUN, is an overused and sometimes tired word. You
can hear it hundreds of time everywhere, and then at some point it loses its
power.
But then again, when you mix the word FUN, with the
word ART, then you have an explosion.
Today I want to talk to you about an explosion:
ROBERTO WEIL.
I have been following him secretly, as any sensible
human being that believes the best part of the newspapers are the cartoons.
I bought a picture by him back in 2003, in
Caracas, in a beautiful exhibition called “Caricaturista en Africa” (Cartoonist in Africa), just
captivated by his masterful use of color, lines and sense of humour.
Roberto Weil has been, for all these years, an invisible,
quiet presence, here, in my home in Canada.

Roberto Weil is an artist, part of the
imagery of every Venezuelan of my generation.
His style is unmistakable.
His mordacity eloquent.
