Well, it is getting near to the end of October (2025) and it has been a very busy and interesting month. At the beginning of the month I returned to my studio base in Valencia after having been «on the road» for the previous three months in the Aegean Sea. It was a great trip back to Spain and I arrived to Barcelona and took the opportunity to see some friends there and the following day I took the train to Valencia.
So, right after I got back, practically without time to unpack, I had to make sure the final preparations for my solo show «La búsqueda» were ready. This was a big show, reminiscent of the one I did in 2023. I exhibited more than fifty pieces, including drawings and paintings. This time we also added the bottles designed and created by GAB. Although the show was a huge success, it was tiring and hard work, especially for tired bodies that had been on the road for over three months straight. Anyways, we received 1.217 visitors, very good, considering that we were rained out one entire day and three more days we opened during a severe storm that was passing through this area.
I had the opportunity to meet fabulous people from many different places. I conversed with young and old alike. I felt very good about that because I was able to confirm that people like art. People are still curious about art, traditional art created by the hands of an artist. I was asked, many times, to explain what I meant by «Art is the search» and I gladly replied.
Art is the search because before anything is put on canvas, paper, or sculpted, the artist searches for its meaning, for the best way to express it and for the dimensions, colour, form it should take. If an artist does not search he cannot find. so the actual act of searching becomes artistic subterfuge. An artist looks at patterns, shapes, colours, the brilliance of the light and the darkness of the shadows. Movement is represented in the shifting light, the subtle differences in the colour patterns and the bombastic expression caused by the power of bright, full colours.
These are the elements I search through and for to create my surreal-expressionist «JaZzArT». Jazz is dynamic, it flows with rhythm, it surprises you with improvisations and it captures your mind as the performer becomes both soloist and composer. Jazz is an expression of «controlled» freedom. One creates according to pre-established parameters, but one knows one will break the scheme and improvise. That is what I search for so that I can capture all those movements in my paintings.
So now I am getting ready for November…
Hope you have a happy, healthy and peaceful autumn. I pray that peace will come to the nations in conflict and that people realise that all one needs is LOVE…

Wow, Francisco, this is truly inspiring, my Brother. I’m so happy and proud of you and all that you continue to accomplish. You not only share your art with the world, but you bring joy and understanding to others about the incredible gift our Heavenly Father has given you.
I continue to wish you luck, success, and blessings in all you do.
Thank you for being supportive, encouraging, and a role model for many of us who have a gift or calling but are afraid to take that step or fear failure.
Keep shining, Brother. 🙏🎨

What a beautifully detailed and heartfelt reflection! 🌟
I love how you take us on your journey from the Aegean Sea back to Valencia, giving a vivid sense of travel, anticipation, and the joy of returning to your creative space. Your description of the solo show “La búsqueda” is inspiring—not just in its scale and success, but in the way you capture the connection with your visitors and the universal curiosity for art.
