#art, «Stella Maris» de/by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

(Derechos Reservados/All Rights Reserved)

Puede que el título de Stella Maris, de María, la Madre de Dios, haya surgido de lo que cuentan estos versos de 1 Reyes 18:41-45. En ellos se habla de una gran sequía que afectaba toda la nación, cuando vieron una nube sobre el mar, pequeña, del tamaño de una mano, que anunciaba el final de la sequía. Este es el símbolo de la Anunciación de María por parte del Arcángel Gabriel. La nube sobre el mar es símbolo de esperanza.

The title of Stella Maris, given to Mary, the Mother of God, may have originated from the verses of 1 Kings 18:41-45. In these verses, it speaks of a great drought that affected the entire nation, and they saw a cloud over the sea, small as a person’s hand, which announced the end of the drought. This is the symbol of the Annunciation of Mary by the Archangel Gabriel. The cloud over the sea is a symbol of hope.

CHEERS – GRACIAS

(Esp/Eng)…Cuadros y pinturas/Art: Aquí algo de lo que he pintado durante el año 2021/Some of my work of 2021. Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia…

(Verano, 2021, Costa egea de Turquía, sobre mirando las ruinas de la antigua ciudad griega de Erythrae, Ἐρυθραί/Summer 2021, Aegean Coast of Turkey, overlooking the ancient Greek city Erythrae, Ἐρυθραί)

No me quejé, ni del confinamiento del 2020 ni de la nueva normalidad, pues reconozco la necesidad de ajustarse, protegerse, vacunarse (esto hasta cierto punto) y usar la mascarilla (cuando sea necesaria), asi que he seguido mi rumbo y mi manera de trabajar. Aquí os muestro algunas de las obras del 2021. Os invito a nuestro Instagram donde si las he publicado todas: @Francisco_Bravo_Cabrera y os doy un abrazo desde mi València…

I did not complain about the confinement we went through in 2020, nor the new normal that began soon after. I recognise there is a danger and a need to adjust, protect oneself, get vaccinated (with caution) and wear the mask (when needed). Here now I show you some of the art-work I did throughout 2021, the first year after the pandemic. I also invite you to our Instagram: @Francisco_Bravo_Cabrera where I publish more of them. Big hug to all from my city, València…

(Art is a very human expression, therefore only humans can make art. Art is not intuitive, it is contrived, planned out, researched, in fact, art is the search…FBC)

Gracias…

Cheers…

Art History: (Special Edition) «Virgo Lactans»

(Hera nursing Heracles)

I thought I would divert from conventional art history and bring this little known part of the history of art to your attention. This is the development and the rise of paintings called «La virgen de la leche» or «The nursing Madonna.» It stems from the early Egyptian religion of Isis and Horus, as well as from Greek and later Roman mythology.

Here are some examples:

La estupidez que es la guerra – The Stupidity that is War…

(«Tanques»/Francisco Bravo Cabrera/Derechos Reservados/All Rights Reserved)

Sun Tzu, el más grande estratega de guerras y filosofo chino, el mas exacto y preciso de todos los tiempos (en mi opinión), dijo que la guerra era lo mas importante para el estado porque mandaba a hombres a matar y a morir. Pero resulta que hoy en día las guerras existen porque algún lunático encargado de alguna potencia, con el poder para hacerla, la declara, o simplemente ataca. Y lo peor es que una vez que la estupidez de una guerra comienza, los politicos se meten a dirigirla interfiriendo con la sabiduría de los generales. Las guerras son producto del ego, del deseo de estatus, de mentiras y del afán por dinero. Millones mueren mientras un punado se forra… creo que ha llegado el momento de cambiar este orden mundial lo mas rápido posible.

Sun Tzu, the greatest strategist and war philosopher of all time (my opinion) said that war was the most important thing the state can get involved with, mainly because the state is sending soldiers to fight, to kill and to die. However nowadays wars are fought as the whim of some lunatic who has the power to start them. And the worst thing that can happen, once the stupidity of war has begun, is to have the politicians direct the war instead of the generals. Wars now are created for ego, status, lies and money. Millions die as a few enrich themselves… I think it is time that this world order be disrupted and quickly.

GRACIAS – CHEERS

Bon día!
