Art History: Art Naive (Art Naif)
This is certainly part of Art History, although it doesn’t really have much to do with the professional, philosophical and profound aspect of art. After all Art is an academic subject one studies at university, right? Well, a lot of these artists said they did not need that, all they needed was some paint, a canvas and a couple of brushes. Would Engineers, Medical Doctors, Dentists, Lawyers and other professions say that amateurs pretending to be engineers, doctors, dentists and lawyers be the same as the ones that have suffered through 4 to 6 years of uni training?
And don’t get me wrong, I love Grandma Moses and Henri Rousseau. I don’t think much of some of the others, especially Frida Kahlo. You see, she is taken as an icon of women’s liberation, or feminism, but if you read her published diary and any other articles or books…very few…written about her, you will realise that she was definitely no feminist. She was a submissive woman who suffered gratuitously at the hands of an abusive husband and she still held him at the highest standard. That is not what a feminist believes and it is not how a feminist acts. So, especially if you are a fan of this artist, let me know what you think…
Well, here is my version of Naive Art. I do enjoy a lot of it…
Let me know what you think…

VISIT «CUENCA» in Castilla La Mancha, Spain!
This is the land of my maternal grandmother and also of many lovely, hard working and hard living people in the La Mancha region of Spain. Of course there is much, much more than this short video could ever hold, so if you are visiting Spain, I truly encourage you to venture into the plains and mountains of La Mancha, it will be an experience you will treasure and not soon forget.
Check it out:

Gisela Tabú #3
This is my newest piece. Measuring 60 x 80 cm, I painted it with acrylic paint on canvas. It is part of a series. The first Gisela Tabú I painted at Omnia Caelum Studios Miami back in 1998.
I should give a little background…
Gisela was a character I developed for a play (musical comedy) that I wrote in 1993, which was presented in Miami. While working with the actress to develop the character we joked and played around with what would be prohibited, or taboo, when interacting with Gisela. We decided it was everything, so we called her Gisela Tabú (taboo in Spanish).
The first painting, which is in a private collection in the US, is basically a portrait of Gisela, the character of the play, and symbols of her interactions in the play. The play was called “Alas” (“Wings”).
“Gisela Tabú #2” has also been sold, to a collector in Portugal.
I consider the paintings to be “Contemporary Expressionism” and, as in many of my paintings, the “characters” exist in a pop-abstract (sometimes surreal) background.
Here are some details of GT3:

Euro-Ku: «To Those That Have Minds That Hate
For those who walk this earth without ever knowing: you reap what you have sown …
to those that have minds that hate and dream of destruction, eternity awaits…
since you’ve traded embraces for bullets and kisses for pain, and smiles for the bitterest of tears, and very soon, you’ll get what you fear…
