Ya os habia dicho que el arte es cosa totalmente objetiva, que el subjetivismo esta en aquellos que observan, juzgan y desarrollan teorías sobre lo que están mirando. El artista crea sobre una base solida, fundada en sus conocimientos de la vida y en su manejo de la técnica de la pintura. El arte no tiene lógica, ni tiene que ser entendida. El arte tiene que lograr una respuesta espiritual y visceral en el observador, eso sí, para ser considerada buena. El arte no tiene que ser figurativo, puede ser totalmente abstracto o mitad y mitad. La abstracción tiene que obedecer una sola norma: no se puede parecer a nada que se pueda identificar como parte, o perteneciendo, al mundo natural. Y el arte figurativo es todo lo demás. Hay que tener bien en cuenta que lo que plasma un artista sobre la tela o sobre cualquier superficie, o lo que esculpe un escultor en cualquier material, es el resultado de su vida entera, su formación, su (buen) gusto y su deseo de comunicar. Y finalmente, no vayáis a pensar que el arte decorativo tiene menos valor que el arte filosófico, intelectual o perteneciente a cualquiera de las vanguardias artísticos, porque todo el arte es decorativo.

I have written many times that art is a totally objective thing, that subjectivism lies in those who observe, judge, and develop theories about what they are watching. The artist creates on a solid foundation, based on his knowledge of life and his mastery of the technique of painting. Art has no logic, nor does it need to be understood. Art must achieve a spiritual and visceral response in the observer; that is essential for it to be considered good. Art doesn’t have to be figurative; it can be entirely abstract or a mix of both. Abstraction must obey one rule: it cannot resemble anything that can be identified as a part of, or belonging to, the natural world. Figurative art encompasses everything else. It is important to keep in mind that what an artist captures on canvas or any surface, or what a sculptor shapes in any material, is the result of his entire life, his training, his (good) taste, and his desire to communicate. And finally, do not think that decorative art holds less value than philosophical, intellectual, or avant-garde art, because all art is decorative.

This is a bold and thought-provoking reflection on the nature of art, and what stands out most is the clarity and conviction in your voice. You present your perspective with confidence, inviting the reader to reconsider commonly accepted ideas about subjectivity and interpretation.

I am particularly struck by your point that what is placed on the canvas is the result of an entire lifetime; it reminds us that art isn’t just a product of the moment, but a culmination of every experience and technical hurdle the artist has ever faced. Your closing statement that all art is ultimately decorative is a powerful equalizer that strips away the pretension often found in artistic discourse.
