What a captivating reflection on the creative process! 🎨✨
Francisco Bravo Cabrera’s words beautifully unveil the intimate dialogue between artist and canvas—the thoughtful preparation, the rhythm of imagination, and that exquisite moment when vision meets motion. The idea that paintings must dance is profoundly poetic; it captures how art breathes, moves, and lives beyond the brushstrokes.
Both the English and Spanish versions preserve that lyrical energy, making the reflection feel universal—an ode to creativity itself. Truly inspiring and elegantly expressed. Bravo! 👏
