This kiss of Judas in inmate’s clothes, this “look” that scares away the sparrows,
these waiting days that spiral to the bottom of a hole have reached the marrow,
and I’ve have carved in bone your portrait, oil on canvas, rust on gold, owls and seagulls to behold…
C.2022, Francisco Bravo Cabrera, 06 MAR 2022, Valencia, España

As an artist, I have always been engaged in «the search», and it usually leads me to the place I want to be and to the things I want to discover. I have always said that…to me…all art is poetry, therefore I am a poet, a craftsman that constructs with feelings, emotions, rhymes, rhythms, lines, colours and human interactions.
The Euro-Ku is the result of one of those searches…or should I say the incessant search…and I’ve embraced its capacity to express, clearly and coherently, in everyday speech and form, some not so clear, precise or coherent ideas. It is like arranging abstract thoughts into figurative images, well defined and easily interpreted.
See the original article explaining this poetic form: https://paintinginvalencia.wordpress.com/2022/02/23/my-new-poetic-invention-the-euro-ku/
I hope you enjoy it.

I fully agree, my friend! You are an artist no matter what medium you choose. And your paintings speak to me as clearly as any written line. But your poetry has become something exemplary!

Every thing you do is original Francesc, and that’s an art in itself.

I love this poem and it’s juxtaposition of concepts. I am guessing you feel strongly about this individual.
