It’s full of inspiring artist documentaries from their studio talking about themes in their work and process. If you need a place to start, try this one on Firelei Báez. It was my introduction into her, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I watched it at the beginning of December. Think I’ll do a rewatch this weekend.

The name sounds a bit misleading, although the entire channel includes interviews with contemporary artists. They all have amazing insight and I always learn something new with each video. <3

My native language is Spanish. I use YouTube primarily to learn other languages so this list is not as extensive as the one I did on my English edition of my favorite YouTube channels, but I still enjoy these very much. Hopefully someone who's learning Spanish or knows the language finds them.
All of them are commentary channels surrounding different topics.
Luna Martinez (México): commentary channel that has a humorous approach. She recently opened up about an abusive relationship she was in, for almost a decade, and now is making commentary mostly through a feminist lens about problems happening in México and Latin America as a whole. Knowing what I know now, it makes her all the more compelling to me. She also speaks slowly in case anyone is still trying to get to a conversational level but can't properly hear well just yet.
Ter (Spain): She's an architect. I believe some of her videos have subtitles in English. Most of her videos are dedicated to the explanation of architecture and art. She breaks it down for people who don't know about architecture. I promise you, no one I've seen in any language has her takes. Her interpretations are very interesting to see because you never know the approach that she's going to take.
Danna Alquati (Venezuela): She makes funny commentary, mostly about terrible movies, but she also has very interesting analysis and movie recommendations. Her most popular video is an analysis on Lolita and I remember it being really good. I recommend as a whole, her series Danna Hates on Movies.
Blanca Guilera (Spain): she also talks about art but is more of an academic approach, reviewing the original intentions from artists and/or the context under which a certain piece was created.

my recs in YouTube are spoiled with rpdr and kpop vids, but i still keeping track of new videos on some of my favorite channels
DamiLee channel is one of them, i like her videos so much! She is talking about architecture, and always sharing a lot of interesting information and giving ideas to think about. I personally like her video about different architecture in movies, the one where she discussed the design of prisons, and the new one about bunkers and living in the post apocalyptic world

The desk I work from and make all my music at is technically our dining room, and is 3 feet from the couch and 6 feet from the kitchen, but we’re fortunate to have amazing views like this.
It smelled amazing at this moment too, so we took the dog for a walk.
