El TRESome Uno has held on March 10, 2008. The three latino artist participants gathered at Rust Bar: Diana Blandon -Graphic Artist, Colombia; Marcelo Novo -Painter, Argentina; and Ivan Segura -Writer, Mexico. Following the guidelines, they procedeed to choose a topic for the creative challenge. Ater a short discussion, they selected the topic: WHITE. Once the theme was chosen, the participants had to complete their artistic piece in the remaining time. The total time alloted for the creative challenge is always 60 minutes. Here are the productions from El TRESome Uno. "For me, white is opportunity, possibilities, potential. As soon as we have selected the topic I started to think about a visual image to represent that potential. I took several pictures at the bar but I selected this one because I think it represents possibilities. I love the contrast and it makes me think of a night with a full moon…"

Following my method of creation (Automatism), I simply asked for a pen and a piece of paper from a notebook and decided to sketch in whatever came to me at that moment. I love the result…it is almost as if the woman at the bottom of the page is being pushed down by all the white on top…"
