Source text - English One day, a very rich man named Akito walked into an old curiosity shop in Japan, looking for a kettle in which to make his tea. He searched and searched, and eventually found a bronze one that he liked, so he took it home to use that evening.
Later that day he cleaned the teapot till it shone like the sun. He put it down to dry and went to count his coins, but when he came back, it seemed like it had moved.
‘How strange’, he thought. ‘There’s no one else here, how could that happen? I must have imagined it’.
Translation - Spanish Un día, un hombre muy rico llamado Akito entró en una tienda de antigüedades de Japón, buscando una caldera para hacer su té. Buscó y buscó, y un tiempo después encontró una de bronce que le gustó, entonces se la llevó a casa para usarla esa noche.
Más tarde ese mismo día, limpió la tetera hasta que brilló como el sol. La dejó para que se secara y fue a contar sus monedas, pero cuando volvió le pareció que se había movido.
«Qué raro», pensó. «No hay nadie más aquí, ¿cómo pudo haber pasado eso? Lo debo haber imaginado.»

Source text - English Photos of faces fill our visual world. Live and frozen, selfies and not. Eyes, lips, eyebrows, cheeks and chins litter the digital landscape. We enhance, filter, crop, adjust, and retouch these photos to transform the flaws of spontaneous shutter clicks into an illusion of perfection. In spite of this blizzard of images, the deep connection we seek
with the people in them remains elusive.
In the world of painting, a parallel stack of canvases of
forgotten folk from centuries ago who could afford to sit
still while an artist worked to flatter and satisfy, populates
attics and auction houses. This volume of faces past was
the precursor of the countless images our smart devices
send to the Cloud, the metaphorical attic of our times.
What qualities propel a portrait beyond the oblivion to
the enduring? Portrait painters have long recognized an
accurate physical image alone falls short of capturing the
essence of an individual. A successful portrait requires
understanding and expression of interiority. The magic of da Vinci, Rembrandt and Velázquez transcends the centuries precisely because the artists revealed a window into the subject’s inner self.
Do Maria Clara Rossi’s contemporary canvases compel
us to contemplate and connect with the individuals she
has painted? Quality art requires engagement and what motivates that involvement varies with each viewer. Regardless, many elements encourage a connection and those factors merit thoughtful consideration.
Translation - Spanish Las fotos de caras llenan nuestro mundo visual. Vivas y congeladas, selfies o no. Ojos, labios, mejillas y mentones contaminan el paisaje digital. Mejoramos, filtramos, recortamos, ajustamos y retocamos estas fotos para transformar las fallas de la obturación espontánea en una perfección ilusoria. A pesar de este vendaval de imágenes, la conexión profunda que buscamos con las personas que aparecen en ellas permanece inasible.
En el universo de la pintura, una pila paralela de lienzos de gente olvidada de los siglos pasados, que podía darse el lujo de quedarse quieta mientras un artista trabajaba para halagarla y satisfacerla, habitan los áticos y los remates. Este volumen de rostros pasados fue el precursor de las incontables imágenes que nuestros aparatos electrónicos envían a la Nube, el ático metafórico de nuestros tiempos.
¿Cuáles son las cualidades que impulsan a un retrato más allá del olvido hacia lo duradero? Los pintores de retratos percibieron ya hace tiempo que una imagen física fiel no alcanza para captar la esencia de un individuo. Un retrato bien logrado requiere del entendimiento y la expresión de una interioridad. La magia de Da Vinci, Rembrandt y Velázquez trasciende los siglos precisamente porque
los artistas develan una ventana hacia el ser interior del sujeto.
¿Los lienzos contemporáneos de María Clara Rossi nos exhortan a contemplar y conectarnos con los individuos que pintó? El arte de calidad requiere participación, y lo que motiva ese involucramiento depende de cada espectador. Independientemente de esto, algunos elementos incentivan una conexión, y esos factores merecen un análisis detallado.

Source text - Portuguese Chrissy Teigen escondeu de todo mundo a dor que estava carregando.
Nem o marido, John Legend, sabia do problema.
Chrissy não queria admitir que estava com depressão pós-parto.
E sua situação foi ficando cada vez mais grave.
Quem via Chrissy no programa “Lip Sync Battle”, logo após dar à luz,
não imaginava o que estava por trás do sorriso e da espontaneidade dela.
Internamente, Chrissy travava uma dura batalha contra seus sentimentos...
