Almendra & Juan Pablo
An almond-colored ARISTOPET
Almendra is an ARISTODOG of the vizsla breed, who shares her life with Juan Pablo González Cabrera. She came into his life after the disappearance of a dog the family had adopted. Juan's sister chose her name, naming her Almendra after the Argentine music band Almendra. Plus, the dog is almond-colored! The perfect name.
Juan has shared great moments with Almendra; for him, she brought a great change into his life. One of his best shared moments with her was when she visited the sea for the first time. Almendra was very excited, and for him, it was a magical moment.
Juan González Cabrera is a film director and photographer. He defines himself as a curious, thirsty, and passionate person. Although he was born in Argentina, he lived in Brazil for his first 7 years, then moved to Uruguay, and finally returned to Argentina. From a very young age, he has lived in different places, which has given him the opportunity to see things with a different social and cultural perspective.
His passion for music was instilled by his parents from a young age. His day always began with music at home—Vivaldi, Mozart, Chopin, or Bach.
During his adolescence, he lived in Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos, the carnival capital of Argentina, where he absorbed all the visual, aesthetic, and sensual elements that carnival can offer. He enjoys painting, theater, and dance. One of the most impactful music videos for him is Mariposa Technicolor by Fito Páez. He is also a fan of Spanish cinema; one of his favorite films is Almodóvar's All About My Mother.
His vocation for this world dates back to when he was very young; he spent all his time taking photos, filming or editing videos, composing songs, or participating in plays. Professionally, he began his career in the audiovisual world through fashion, in charge of his friend Santiago Artemis' fashion films. He has also worked as a volunteer for an NGO, where he was a creative director.
One of his latest projects is the music video for El Hit, a work created with soloist Emmanuel Horvilleur. Here is his website for you to enjoy the video.
Juan Pablo created COLORSENS during his years of study at the University of Palermo. It all started as a practical project until he began looking for clients for his company. He has sponsored and positioned musical artists and fashion designers. Although the project is currently on hold, he intends to resume it and perhaps establish it in Spain.
To carry out his work, Juan Pablo draws inspiration from life, the everyday, the real, and the spontaneous. For him, his parents' house is a place full of energy, surrounded by trees and spectacular sounds. He likes to walk in places where he can take off his shoes and be in contact with nature.
Madrid also inspires him; he enjoys walking through Retiro Park and enjoying nature. He considers this city his second home. In March, he will visit Madrid to carry out some projects with indie bands and Argentine artists.
