La soledad del artista es la historia de Leonel, un hombre atrapado entre el peso de su pasado, el caos de su presente y un futuro incierto. Marcado por el desamor y la rutina opresiva, Leonel intenta encontrar sentido a su existencia mientras lidia con la resaca emocional de la ruptura de una relacion que lo definio y lo destruyo. Entre noches de alcohol y soledad en bares de mala muerte, y relaciones fugaces con mujeres que, como el, buscan huir de su soledad, Leonel se enfrenta a sus propios demonios. Su sueño de convertirse en escritor lo impulsa, pero tambien lo consume, mientras reflexiona sobre la vida, el amor y el sistema que lo aplasta. A traves de encuentros intensos, momentos de introspeccion y el consuelo pasajero de nuevas relaciones, su viaje se convierte en un grito desesperado por encontrar algo autentico en un mundo que parece vacio de proposito. Cruda, ironica y profundamente humana, esta novela es un retrato de una generacion desencantada y de las batallas internas de un hombre que busca redimirse en medio del caos. La soledad del artista explora el amor, la perdida y la lucha por mantenerse a flote en un mar de incertidumbres.

One morning, I realized that it might be helpful to compare insights from my old diary entries with my current experiences. A common thread emerged: my inner conflict, which stemmed from my longing for connection with my dysfunctional family and my desire for creative freedom.Unable to recognize earlier that I had a narcissistic father, I sought his love and approval. That could not succeed.

Dare to be happy!"(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
