JaZzArt en València

I have to say that there have been some great years in my life, but most of them have a 3, like 73, 93, 2003, 2013, and 2023… And in 2003 I established, in the city of Miami Beach, Omnia Caelum Studios Miami. Of course now, since 2018, it is Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia, as we have relocated to Valencia, Spain. Omnia Caelum Studios València was established in 2019, so if you count the numbers they equal 3. And we are happy here in València… So, here are some of the colours that created my paintings that were exhibited during our first tour which started with the state of Florida (Sarasota, Bradenton, Key Biscayne and Miami), New York (Manhattan and Brooklyn) and ended in Spain (Fuendetodos, Aragón).

DEAD FLOWERS
(Euro-Ku)

Here today burned tomorrow
growing close to walls
reaching to the sand
that is bathed by the sea…

Swaying with the rhythm of the wind
that travels where you
do not know…

Only God knows
where the wind goes
but dry flowers
dance…

Just in case you do not know what a Euro-Ku is…

I invented the Euro-Ku in 2022 in an effort to compose a Haiku that would be fitting the history, culture, language and spirit of a Western poet. As I wanted to honour the traditional Japanese form, I adapted it to something that would be more fitting to a European. I decided that the syllabic count was unnecessary as it only works with the nuances and forms of the Japanese language and not with Latin, Greek, Germanic or Slavic languages. So in the Euro-Ku you do not have to worry about counting syllables. The Euro-Ku has three parts (stanzas) but they can be as long or as short as you want or need them to be. However, the verses have to flow evenly, smoothly and reasonably into each other. No phrases that disappear into outer space. And finally the Euro-Ku must be accompanied by a photograph, painting, drawing or any other form of illustration done by the author, Try it…

«Celia» is a painting that did capture my philosophical viewpoint on music, life, creativity and destiny back when I painted it, which was in 2003. This painting is part of my permanent collection…

The painting is in parts and was made in parts, combining what could have been several paintings into a whole that flows. Life flows in from the past to the present to the future, shaping destiny and letting destiny shape her…

The dancer is the marionette of the choreographer…

The singer is a slave to the composer…

The window lets in the colours of the day…

The drummer leads us on marking the minutes, hours, days…

The crowds are we, the people… Some are strong, large, beautiful, some are smaller, incognito, looking but not being seen. Such are we, the people that populate reality, that create memories, ideas, art, and the path to the future. It could be good, but…

This is my opinion reached after consulting my taste and my learning…
