Omnia Caelum Studios València…

(Room Alpha: Omnia Caelum Studios València with Bodo Vespaciano)

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 València, as València, Spain, is my city. From here I have exhibited in Barcelona, Sevilla 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, not an artist. I really don’t know what they 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.

(Hope you like, subscribe and maybe even share!)

Cheers…

    A walk back in time is always enlightening. Bits and pieces, saved and pieced together later tell us who we were, importantly, who we are. Good works – artist or painter – words are words. It takes sentences, paragraphs, and chapters to make a story. Thank you for getting my day off to an interesting start.

    1. Always a pleasure to hear from you Espie, and that’s a very good analogy about words, sentences, paragraphs et cetera…true indeed.

        Always, always a pleasure to drop by. Embarrassed often not having words to match the (beg pardon) artistry of those I steadfastly follow, I might at times forgo comment. Make this a great day, Francisco.

    Francisco I loved what you said on this new site. These art pieces are magnificent. I don’t remember seeing the piece with the grapes such a wonderful piece. Let’s face it the wine in Spain is magnificent. What a lovely photograph of you with three truly amazing pieces. ❤️ Hugs to you both. Love Joni

    We refer to you as an artist because you do so much more then paint. Painting is just one of your many talents in creating beauty. You are also a musician and writer. At some point, the term «artist» just sums it all up! Either way, I am happy to call you «brother»!

    What a progression for you since 2003! I find it incredible that you’ve lived and made a name for yourself (or, should I say names for yourself) in so many places. It’s wonderful that you have truly found your home now in Valencia and can draw on all the places you’ve been to bring life to your paintings. I still consider you an artist.

    1. I have loved all the places I’ve lived in, and still do, in many ways, the experience one gains often has much to do with geography, so I try to always remain in touch…thank you so very much, take good care and all the best,

    You are an artist because you create art! Do you believe you were created in the likeness of God? God is the divine Creator. You are a human creator, of art. An Artist!🍷🌼🌈💜

    1. Yes, I do believe in God and in Creation. What we do is to make art, but it’s not a true creation, all has been created already by God, what we do as artists is to search and to communicate. I thank you very much for your reply which was a pleasure to read and I thank you for your time and your lovely words.

  12. The artist’s mission is to communicate a part of that universe created by God. Compliment, Francisco. Your story is made up of conscious choices.

    1. Thank you so very much Marcello, and I fully agree, the universe is God’s creation and we, as artists, are called to communicate such truths. All the best. Saluti dalla Spagna
