Mariluz Bellido
Consort of ... Agustín Ibarrola, painter and sculptor
"I have always tried to live up to Augustine"
Mariluz Life Bellido, together since 1953 to of her husband, Agustin Ibarrola, is a series of memories of arrests and detentions.
- Where were you born?
- In Santander, in 1934. In a state of emergency, in which Augustine was arrested in Burgos is not what we detained my sister and me. On questioning, the police told me they would send me Santander. "I'm glad because I was born there, but I do not know." And I said, 'Well, now it will not. "
- How did you meet?
- I worked as a commercial artist and did my first steps with paint. He was already known. In the Artistic Association Biscayne was a group show with two paintings of mine. Ibarrola fell there and the first thing he did was drop: 'What more bad exposure!'. Very shy, I asked if any she liked. When I told him what was mine, I dropped that were the worst.
- And with that background he married?
- Yes, because I promised to teach me to paint.
- were married in 1954.
- I'll bring the family book to teach you what they put in 'Profession': The sex! Thirteen months after Joseph was born, the largest, and in 1966, Irrintzi.
- How were your beginnings?
- went to live in Formentera. To get pregnant, the practitioner told me that he was authorized to deliver babies, but not having medical Augustine scared and we took the first boat to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthen a train. The conductor told me that if she gave birth, my child travel free life.
Augustine recalls his words: "Mariluz, hardy to home, that I love him Basque manico not." Their first child was born in Bilbao.
- Among the arrests and the office of her husband, life will have been easy.
- No. I worked in a by printing advertisements. For example, I paid my hands for the photo of the first pressure cooker 'Majestic'. I left him at birth Joseph, when they arrested Augustine said I could return. But I wanted to be near Burgos criminal.
- How maintained?
- of solidarity. People bought prints and paintings to help. I prepared an exhibition that opened in Rome and there he took me into his house Rafael Alberti.
- Economically they were not wrong.
- No. We have had spurts, like everyone else. After a moment, and began to be recognized and have lived in the paint without confinement.
- was hard to find a study of this size and light in Bilbao. Is not the same be in a city apartment in the field.
- How to shop?
- with the car. When I took the card, Augustine and warned me that he would never lead.
- No driving, not on the phone ...
- Another hobby.
- And you, how you lead?
- driving What I have not imported because I liked it. The phone itself bothers me because if it is an issue for him, there is much suspicion. Can say that, as Augustine does not get, there's the gypsy woman & hellip And that bothers me.
- Do you call a lot?
- Yes If they ask for opinions, I write your answer and make a phone reading.
- And when you're alone?
- No catch. I say that if I am, I call, hang up and call back, but you forget.
- When did it start?
- not remember. One day I found that would not talk. Probably called him a lot, could not refuse, then pissed because they would have said no & hellip And it was easier to do it myself. Now it's funny.
- You exercise of 'medium' ...
- Yes, because there are many nuances and Augustine did not call him for & hellip chorraditas, but do not put that talk so bad.
- Do your kids are & hellip?
- Irrintzi is Professor of Biology University and Joseph is an artist like the top of a pine.
- Have you always painted?
- drew beautifully. When his father was imprisoned, began to make large-winged birds that entered the jail with the keys. Would have 5 or 6 years.
"paid the duck"
- Who is more of an artist: the father or the son?
- I think of the two very large. Joseph has had to battle for the father separated. Each one has its own style.
- How have lived through the attacks on his work?
- Evil, evil. Damage your work is like to hurt him. Does not deserve it. It's been a fighter, a man delivered a lot of awareness.
- Have you ever been tempted not to say they have called with bad news?
- always tell him everything. He has been a man of address, the type has been played. I tried to be always at the height it deserves.
- If it had not been a communist, would have had no luck professional?
- is very hard. If I say, I will look with a certain thing. But yes, if it was not militant, like other artists ... At the time paid the duck, but today is a wanted man. But not all, so go with escorts.
- How are health?
- Well, I got a fright & hellip
- Sorry, how old are they?
- Augustine, 80, I, four less. Last year, in a concert tribute to the victims of terrorism, given the telele. He collapsed and fell on the floor. But as they were Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega and the Prince and they go with a mobile ... They were outside and made him first aid. Now is phenomenal.
- Do you cook yourself?
- Yes, because ... Augustine has stages in which he gives for being very orderly, but cooking is a bit shoddy. I think not out of the years of famine.
- By the way, Augustine fulfilled his promise to teach you to paint?
- No, because we went to Formentera to live and was born as Joseph.
