In this first‑person narrative, the artist recounts how he created a painting titled El gallito de Diego to finance the birth of his son, Diego. Facing a lack of funds for his partner Mari’s hospital delivery, he borrowed money from Armando and, for the first time, asked gallery owner Dora Luz for a loan, promising to repay it with the sale of a future work. The loan was quickly repaid when the painting sold, covering the hospital bill and allowing the child’s birth. The buyer, Gerardo, a politician from Oaxaca, later sent the painting back with a letter stating it belonged to Diego, gifting it to the child. This gesture forged a lasting friendship and ongoing support for the artist’s projects. The experience convinced the narrator that he could sustain himself as a painter, reinforcing his belief that art can be a life‑changing force. He also reflects on the broader community of artists and patrons, noting how such serendipitous events have repeatedly guided his career.
