JaZzArt en València

Esta es una artista urbana del Reino Unido que si admiro, y no solo por su maestría con las plantillas y su arte, sino también por su verdadero compromiso con su faena. Supongo que otros, como Banksy, deberían tomar nota… This is one street artist from the UK that I can admire, not only for

She was born in Los Angeles but spent most of her life in Mexico. Rosa was a dancer, choreographer, costume designer, photographer and a painter. She was also an art collector. Rosemonde Cowan Ruelas, (1895-1970) better known as Rosa Rolanda, began studying dance at an early age, but in 1928, during a stay in Paris,

El 2024, como todos los años ha sido un año de grandes bendiciones, alabando a Dios y dándole las gracias por supuesto. Tambien ha sido época de grandes logros en el arte. El arte se hace buscando, desentrañando y resolviendo problemas. Ahora me preguntaras, pero tío, ¿Qué problemas? Y te diré que cada vez que

#art, VALENCIARTIST!

Pues nació en 1922 y murió en Madrid en 1977… Tenia fama de pintor escandaloso y de excéntrico Estudio bellas artes en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Sevilla… Rompía todos los esquemas del arte clásico, era de carácter descarado y difícil, pero era un artista de puta madre… Estudiaba mucho, bebía mucho, tenía muchas

QUE VIVIR ES AMAR Que vivir es amar y el sueno queda con su silencio margo y su despecho, los chopor acarician la agonia, la infinita sorpresa el desencanto: sabemos que al pasar todo nos roza, el suspiro, la envidia, la belleza, el caprichoso arrullo del deseo, la sospechosa alarma de la muerte, y sabiéndolo

Pero el derecho al voto no se regala para tratar de ganar elecciones.

Truly a most beautiful sanctuary on the mountains of Jaén, Andalucía, Spain…

CHEERS

Like I have always said, art is the search. Not necessarily the search for something original, but the search for a different way to express something deep, something meaningful, something frivolous or even something simply decorative. Art is all that. It is a message, it is an alphabet, a design, a decorative piece, a piece of shit perhaps, but to the artist it should be the result of the search. As an artist gets deeper into the search he discovers that there are many ways to express feelings and emotions, to transmit messages or to decorate a room…

If there is not a process of discovery, the search, chances are that you won’t find anything…

Omnia Caelum Studios…

The name comes from Metamorphoseis, («The Metamorphoses») a poem written by the Roman poet Ovid on 8 AD, which narrates the creation of the world and it’s history until the day of the deification of Julius Caesar…

The translation of Omnia Caelum into English is hard to achieve, but the best I can do is to think that it may mean: «all is heaven»…

First came Omnia Caelum Miami. I started this business in the year 2003 with my first professional exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey. I never thought it would be there, but it was, that’s destiny I guess. From there I proceded to New York, to Zaragoza, Spain, to Miami, and to other cities in the State of Florida. I took my work to all galleries, to all fairs, festivals and to special expos. But my greatest accomplishment…I would say…was that I was able to reach fabulous individual collectors that opted for my work, and they are from three continents: Europe, Asia and America.

Upon my return to Spain I re-named the studios Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia now in our 8th year in València, Spain, my city. From here I have exhibited in Barcelona, Sevilla, Palma, Belfast, Istanbul and in Izmir, Turkey, as well as participating in many trans-European art auctions and I have seen my art travel to many countries in the continent. And this is just the beginning. There are many countries in my plans, many places to visit, many places to take my work to…

Like I have said many times before, I am a painter, an artist. But recently I really don’t know, or care, what they, the critics and the academics, good grief, mean when they say «artist». I am a searcher and searching is the greatest form of art, as far as I know. I don’t believe in a lot of things that I hear are important to so-called «artists», like originality and style. No artist is original. We cannot be original. Perhaps our ancestors were original but even then, I am sure they copied nature. And as far as style is concerned, it is a limiting factor. To develop a style all you have to do is to do the same thing over and over again. Like Picasso said, God created a giraffe and an ant, totally different, where was His style? And for me, God is the only creator…

I invite you to look at…most of my artwork…the work I sell and display on Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia, through Instagram. We are at @Francisco_Bravo_Cabrera and @Guloshka (my representative, curator and adviser). And I also invite you to my YouTube channel (through the link below) where I post videos of art and of many artists in my Art History series.

Cheers…
