Editor's Review

The girl developed account of how this intimate need that was from an early age and moved it to practice different ways of making art. On the other hand, highlights the key role exerted by the workshop "The Cube" for the development and promotion of the arts trenquelauquenses.

Rabasa military is defined as a curious young man. That personality trait, clearly evident by the way, has been contacted with various forms of art that were formed in their personal and professional guiding their choice.
Even as a girl, Millie showed great concern for making, cutting, disassembly and reassembly. "I think it was a necessity," says the interviewee in relation to that distant first contact with art. Now 19 and is enrolled in the 2 nd year studying architecture in the city of La Plata. "When I was little, my house told me scissors," he says laughing. "Everyone turned it into something. He grabbed a sheet or any paper that was or whatever and beat sheets, cut it, it broke. He was always inventing something, drawing and always wanting to do, "says the artist who later time of those early investigations, was related to the local teacher with whom Crowder Guillermina" I learned to use different materials and never had any limits. " That step Crowder classes also took her to meet the tender world of the creative puppets Workshop "Mamamasa" displays for years in Trenque Lauquen.

GROWTH
"After several years I was doing things in my home and always alone. But that way, it grows very little, "he says. Was how one day, she met a local teacher who would give an artistic space in which to develop fruitfully: Magui Delfino. "I knew her well, in the street, very natural. And she invited me to his workshop and went. I'm like, I am curious about something and I go. In this place I met all the members of 'The Cube'. I stayed and I was doing some things. And they accepted me as if I knew of a lifetime. I had gotten there without knowing what I would find. The only one who knew was Magui and neither knew too. Here you realize that they are open to all. I started as a student who went to Magui later, after I started going from two in the afternoon and I stayed until eight or nine, "he says smiling.
That year, 2006, Mill was the first sign Rabasa as a student of Magui Railway Station. Then another year, traveled to La Plata to study architecture.

CHOSEN CAREER
Reach defined by the architecture as a career to follow was by no means an easy task in a person whose motives are developed in a large creative space. Fine Arts, Design and Architecture were the three alternatives that Mill envisaged. "I had them at three in sight," he says. But this choice was defined and encouraged by another member of 'The Cube'. "Javier Núñez is an architect and I always spoke of architecture and a couple of times I went to his study and I watched how it was his job. I had scored in Fine Arts and the day of admission, I architecture, "he says with a smile.
What were the reasons for this sudden change? "A saw architecture and fine arts too complete as something that could continue in parallel. On the other hand, Ricardo "Calala" Bossi is the brother of my grandmother. And when he spoke about it with him, always told me 'I never studied Fine Arts anywhere because I do not like my paintings have an influence. " Then, taking a bit of that too, I really did not know if I would like to study Fine Arts only. So I started to study architecture and I loved it, "he says.

ART AND ARCHITECTURE
Mili Rabasa says that one of the teachers in charge of one of his lectures at the Faculty of Architecture of La Plata has a feature with which she identifies. "One of the teachers paints, writes, is complete. So all your work is based on creation. I do, too. If I did not paint or do not do all these things do not know if I could be studying architecture as I am doing. There are some architectural projects that I ripped from a picture. Because one is freed from all kinds of problems and I begin these projects as if it were actually a work of art, "he says, and in that aspect, adds that" I do not know if I consider myself an artist but as one feels free to do things I think that's it. No painting is required to be an artist. Artist can be a shoemaker who made a good job or cook cooking well, "he says.
In the same vein, argues that "it is very important what one gets older to have that freedom. I was lucky that everything around me I never claimed to do the blue sky because it can be blue and can also be orange. Because it is such an artist, as I said, which makes shoes like the kid who has no idea and comes up with painting the sky a different color, "he says.

NO BARRIERS
"I love everything that is texture," said Mili at the time of counting how it works. "Pictures of wood with sand and having many things. That is, I do not stay only with oil painting and if I can not get acrylic. I do not put any barriers. I do the paintings and the first thing I want is to amaze myself with the pictures I do. I think that's the point, one does the work and the first is self surprised, "he says while recalling an experience with the artistic group" cubed "with which he presented some of his works. "The show in which I participated with The Cube was a challenge. The theme of display, showing what you had done. What happened to me with that statement is that a lot of people went to see her and turned to see her again. And also feel that another person comes to what you did is very good. I think you do that people are part of the work when the person to look, think and work arrives in a certain way, that way everyone wants taking into account what the work conveys, "the artist .

ALWAYS THE CUBE
Mili can not fail to commend the work that The Cube made in the city. "It's a place where everyone is coming. I think that the Cube is more of what we believe. Because today there is a place to convene artists. Every time I say 'how good I am here and every time I go I say' how good I came, '"he says.
He adds that "there are times when we are together working on different things, some are soldiers, others are painting, others are with the pen and in that atmosphere rounds out mate and everyone is in their personal work and yet We are all around. Because we're watching how we work, pulling ideas. And there is a continued growth. "

"To brighten MORE"
The route that Mill Rabasa has done with the art in the city has been contacting many artists trenquelauquenches. Juana Orellana's workshop to expand his artistic vision, Cecilia Fedele to perform work Research on the mural movement Lauquen Trenque deployed, personal contact and via mail with artist Omar "Chacho" Brachetti who guided in this research and, of course, the teacher who saved Magui Delfino by an undeniable affection. "Maguire is an incredible person," he says.
Finally, the respondent defines in particular the activities carried out and which carries all the motivations to develop their daily life with energy. "There's a line one wall of 'The Cube' which was written by a child Magui student: 'The art is to rejoice over." I think there walks. So, this is my happiness, is what I want. I look for everything. In the architecture relate to this in my life relate to this. I could not do anything apart from that I feel, "Mili ends Rabasa, artist trenquelauquense.
