Venga, que esta sí va a misa, ¿No?

This painting is from 2005 and now belongs to a collector and friend from Miami… It is acrylic on canvas 60×70 cm. It represents the goddess of the seas in one of her many forms… The sea is symbolic of the road of life, the physical and spiritual path and the birth of humanity… Of course all of this is represented as I view it, through my filter of surreal-expressionism in art. In philosophy as an extension of Stella Maris, the Mother of God…

CHEERS

I’m hoping the waters that touch you don’t turn into acid and rot,

and that the breeze won’t turn orange with dust and disgust as it strolls past your face.

I hope the earth where you stood can forget your vile footsteps, and that the shadows you cast be recast as the fog in the depths of the night…

Pero a lis políticos esta verdad les resbala… ¿No?

Welcome to part 2 of this new Art History limited series. We started with Fra Angelico, and now we continue with another Quatrocentist painter whose work is very important in the development of Renaissance art, and that, of course, created the masters…classics…who still influence artists today.

Cheers…

Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia is very happy and proud, to introduce to you a new artist coming to join us. She goes by the name of GAB and she is an abstract painter who mostly creates her abstract world on glass, mainly bottles. These are the bottles of fine Spanish wine that we drink here at VALENCIARTIST and that later she uses it as the support for her work.

WELCOME!

ENJOY SOME OF HER WORK ON BOTTLES:

On the next entry we will feature some of her paintings…

CHEERS

Cierto, ¿No?

Not a soul to be seen in the fog and the mist that rolls in from the Mexican gulf…

while the smell of jasmine blends so placidly well with the spirits of Jamaican rum

and the ghosts creep through cracks in the wall, and the last beer is gone, and the night starts to play one last song, so we dance…

A FEW TIMES IN YOUR LIFE

I’ve been on the other side of a weapon like this,
the one in your head,
the one in your hand,
the one in your bed,
the one you can’t…anymore…understand.

A few times in my life I’ve found myself like this…
And I have been a ghost that you’ll only see,
a few times in your life…

I’ve been on the other side before,
of you,
of her,
of them,
of the reflection in the mirror,
I’m a face seen darkly, distorted,

perhaps even shattered?

A few times I have been in two places at the same time…
I have been the breeze that moved your golden hair,
that you well noticed a few times in your life…

I am the other side of a vision like this,
the one that you dread,
the one you can’t find,
the one where I’m dead,
the one without time…

I am the ghost that you’ll forget,
like the goldfish you never fed.
But I know, as I know noontime arrives in the dark of the night,
you will think of me,
a few times in your life…

I am Bodo Vespaciano, also known as Francisco Bravo Cabrera…

I think of myself, mostly, as a poet that paints and composes music… I graduated from Florida International University with a degree in Fine Arts/Theatre with a strong minor in Clinical Psychology. As a painter I have exhibited in North America, Europe and Asia, beginning in 2003. As a poet I have been published in Spillwords Press and my poems have been selected as Publication of the year (international) in 2023 and 2024. I am a pushcart nominee (2024) and an editor for LatinosUSA (English and Spanish editions).
