Bergen, the second largest city in Norway, is a wonderful, spectacular city located between the two largest fjords in the country, the Hardangerfjord and the Sognefjord.
It is one of the stops of the various editions of the Tall Ships Races and, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful.
The port and the beautiful colorful houses give it the charm of a dreamlike town.
I have had the privilege of visiting this wonderful port, contemplating the different types of ships sailing, and delighting in their splendor.
The image of a ship setting sail from Bergen was a powerful one that remained etched in my memory. It was impossible not to be amazed by such glory and magnificence. It's something I can't, nor ever want to, forget.

María Jimena Navarro is a Chilean painter, holding a Bachelor's degree in Plastic Arts from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. She was a distinguished student of renowned Chilean artists such as Hernán Miranda, Gonzalo Cienfuegos, and Roser Bru.
Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, both in Chile and abroad, including Guatemala, the United States, and Costa Rica, where she has lived with her family since 2015.
With a distinctly Expressionist style, incorporating color to varying degrees, she has dedicated herself to capturing everyday life in a figurative manner, exploring themes that hold personal significance in both imagery and emotional weight. These themes include urban landscapes, the human figure, and the depiction of horses—portrayed as objects in constant motion, expressing their strength and imbued with vibrant color.
María Jimena’s painting is an invitation to pause and feel, to remember, or to let ourselves be carried away. It is a tribute to life, reminding us that, ultimately, life is lived in color.
In 2022, she ventured into professional writing for the first time, participating in the "César Vidal Christian Novel Award" by The Agustin Agency with her work "Colombina y la Sonrisa de Dios" (Colombina and the Smile of God).
