Malva Vela: "Because I'm blonde I've felt looks that I didn't like shit"

If one stops to think that

's resume (Madrid, 2000) already includes a series, eight singles, two films and a good catalog of collages, it seems hard to believe that the 22 years she claims to be real.

But they are because art has always been a part of them.

.

«My education has always been very free, but I have learned more outside the school than there.

At school they should give us more emotional security, tell us that we can get things, instead of that we will not find a job.

The real Malva does not differ much from her character, Irene, in

, the

series that HBO Max has just released and that follows a group of teenagers from a working-class neighborhood on a journey without a destination to break with their lives. .

What comes as a teenager.

«When you leave your comfort zone you discover who you are, you find your freedom and your personality.

And to create? For that there is nothing like a trip.

We misuse going on vacation to disconnect, it will connect.

We are already disconnected with the mobile, all the time comparing ourselves, entering information and without seeing reality.

It makes me angry, I need art to continue living with enthusiasm. Have you never wanted to send everything to hell? I've sent many things to hell and I've regretted it.

Now when I don't meet expectations I send them with respect and education.

I have matured.

That's what the young people in the series are up to: growing up, discovering their path, being happy.

“I wish I could walk many paths until I find it.

That's why I don't define myself, I'm not an actress, singer or painter, I'm looking to learn.

Because everything is a mask, a

».

More and more we allow ourselves not to be well, right? It's very cool to say that you're bad and know that there are more people like you, you make a troop, but then you also create a lot of need to compare or define yourself.

The great trunk of this series is that, you can fall in love from sharing and not from sex. It is always said that the new generations label themselves less. I think we are putting more labels, there is too much struggle and little seeing what love is.

I love that there is new information, but a lot is lost by claiming inclusive language all the time, for example.

It's a political issue and I'm going to get into a garden.

It is very good to define it but a lot of time is wasted defending this and little feeling. Are we missing something of the adolescent unconsciousness? I have grown very fast because I have had the need to validate myself so that they take me seriously.

I have been a very young adult for a long time and now I am an adult looking to be young.

Because you can create but for them to see that it is true, you have to fight hard. Her musical career is a tribute to great pioneering women.

Do we need more stories of them? We must try to recognize them because there are many stories of women who are only known for their fame and their image, like Frida Kahlo, but we ignore everything they suffered in life.

JAVI MARTINEZ

Why do you think it happens? Because women have always been image and marketing.

For women with genius there is only fame after death. With the networks I understand that they get along badly then.

Step mallet, I'm not looking for any fame.

I like that they listen to my music and see me, but I don't want to make gold.

I want to work, make ends meet, but I'm not looking for money or success. It's the other way around the world. When you know how you really are, you don't look for social opinion.

Me with my notebook, my watercolors, a coffee and a cigarette in the field I am the happiest person in the world.

I get overwhelmed if I have a lot to do. You complain a lot that music sexualizes women a lot. Because I'm blonde I've felt a lot of looks that I didn't like a shit.

That's why I go with another roll on stage, I don't get to do a sexy dance,

I get to close my eyes and sing on top of a cajon.

I have had a lot of criticism of myself for this, but I connect from there.

Luckily, this is taking away a lot, there are many very interesting singers who already sell a lot just for their songs. Have these issues made you have greater self-demand with yourself? I don't compare anything, but it happens to me that when they give me a positive that I don't deserve it, that it's not serious.

I don't hold myself in as much esteem as people think because of the confidence I show.

That makes me very angry because I'm still in a depressive moment and since I don't show it, it seems that it doesn't exist.

It's okay to be afraid of anxiety or being alone. Should they teach us more in schools to detect these situations? They should give us more emotional security and tell us that we can achieve certain things,

not that we're not going to find work because you don't want to work hard.

My parents gave me freedom and I have cured it, shit.
