Art in València…»Three Flowers»

Valencia is a very old city. It was founded by the Romans as Valentia, so that tells you it is definitely old. The city, naturally, has gone through many changes. We were Roman, then Visigoth, then Moorish, then thanks to El Cid, we were liberated from the Moors and well, here we are, Christian again but a bit more free from the restraints of religion.

In the «Ciutat Vella» (that is the old city, written in our language, Valenciano), there are many buildings, old, very ancient, and many walls. Lamentably some people…could be young people, I don’t know as I’ve not seen them…have scribbled and painted up some of those old walls, and others, urban/street artists have painted images quite beautiful on them…

But one day I ran across a wall surrounding a construction site and it became the background/backdrop of the painting above. They had just demolished the building and thrown everything away, but I guess that some flower pots from the wall garden had broken and fallen and they remained there, nestled right against the wall. They were red, there were still flowers in them, I think they were chrysanthemums…

«Three Flowers» measures 50x70cm and was painted with acrylic paint on a 100% cotton canvas. This painting, along with many others (please visit our online galleries on Instagram (@Francisco_Bravo_Cabrera) and/or www.fbcart.wixsite.com/jazzart for more) is for sale via Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia.
