#poem, «El Agua»
El agua que arrasa con todo,
se llevo mi corazón…
Y flotando junto al lodo,
que ahora por mi pueblo pasa,
inundándome la casa,
va mi mesa y mi café,
mi vino y mi pa amb tomàquet.
El lodo, el fango, el barro…
También penetró en la escuela,
ha destruido las calles,
llevándose los recuerdos,
las sonrisas y alegrías…
Y también la gota fría,
sin alma y sin compasión,
se llevó a nuestros amores,
compañeros de la vida,
almas de luz tan queridas,
dejándonos el dolor,
la pena, el llanto, la rabia,
la destrucción, las heridas,
y un trocito de rencor…
Y cuando al fin salga el sol,
hacia el río iré caminando,
aun triste, pero cantando,
con nueva fuerza y valor,
por sus aguas voy buscando
pedazos del corazón.
Dedicados a todos aquellos que han sufrido tanto debido a la DANA del 29 de octubre de 2024 en las provincias de Valencia, Albacete, Murcia y Almeria

#travel, LISBOA!
Una de las ciudades mas antiguas de la Europa occidental. Fue fundada por los fenicios con el nombre de Ulissipo, en honor al gran héroe griego Ulises u Odiseo… Despues llegaron griegos y cartaginenses y la conquistaron. Le siguieron los romanos e hicieron a Lisboa la capital de la Lusitania romana poniendole Olisipo… La ciudad moderna tiene una población de 547.773 almas, que equivale a un 26% de la población del país… Bueno os diré que me ha encantado Lisboa, aunque mi visita fue corta. Pero os digo que esta ciudad que hay que vivirla, sentir su energía, penetrar en su bullicio, codearse con su gentío, degustar su gastronomía y beber de sus vinos. Venga, que vale la pena una visita, y cuando lleguéis, preparaos para subir y bajar calles porque es una de las tres ciudades construida sobre siete colinas… La gente, guay y majas, elegantes y muy amantes del arte… Os doy las gracias a todos vosotros mis coleccionistas portugueses! Lisboa, otima!

Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Western Europe. It was founded by the Phoenicians under the name of Ulissipo, in honor of the great Greek hero Ulysses or Odysseus… Then came the Greeks and Carthaginians who conquered it. The Romans followed, making Lisbon the capital of Roman Lusitania and naming it Olisipo… The modern city has a population of 547,773 souls, which accounts for 26% of the country’s population… Well, I’ll tell you that I loved Lisbon, although my visit was short. But I can say that this is a city that must be experienced, feeling its energy, immersing in its hustle, mingling with its crowds, savoring its cuisine, and sipping its wines. Come on, it’s worth a visit, and when you arrive, be prepared to go up and down streets because it is one of the three cities built on seven hills… The people, cool and nice, elegant, and very fond of art… I thank all of you, my Portuguese collectors! Lisbon, awesome!

Seguiram-se os romanos, que fizeram de Lisboa a capital da Lusitânia romana, dando-lhe o nome de Olisipo… A cidade moderna tem uma população de 547.773 almas, o que equivale a 26% da população do país… Bom, posso dizer que amei Lisboa, embora minha visita tenha sido curta. Mas digo que esta cidade precisa ser vivida, sentir sua energia, mergulhar em seu bulício, misturar-se com sua gente, degustar sua gastronomia e beber seus vinhos. Venham, porque vale a pena uma visita, e quando chegarem, preparem-se para subir e descer ruas, pois é uma das três cidades construídas sobre sete colinas… O povo é legal e simpático, elegante e muito amante da arte… Agradeço a todos vocês, meus colecionadores portugueses! Lisboa, ótima!

#art, Indian Artist S. H. Raza
I had heard of his name but knew very little about Raza… Raza lived and worked in France for most of his life. He was born in Kakkaiya, Mandla, now Madhya Pradesh, India, in 1922. Although he lived in France from 1950 to 2010, he always maintained strong ties with his country and was well known there as well as in France… Raza received many honours for his work:
- Prix de la critique (1956)
- Padma Shri (1981)
- Fellowship of the Lalit Kala Academy (1984)
- Padma Bhushan (2007)
- Padma Vibhushan (2013)
- Commandeur de la Légion d’honneur (2015)
His painting Saurashtra sold for over three million US dollars at Christie’s in 2010.
Raza was a well educated artist. He started his art training at the Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai, from 1943 to 1947. Once he moved to France in 1950 he studied at the École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSB-A), in Paris from 1950 to1953, having won a French government scholarship. He was awarded the Prix de la critique in Paris in 1956. He was the first non-French artist to receive the honour.
His work was mostly expressionist at first but gradually went transitioning to abstract. He also incorporated elements of Tantrism from Indian scriptures. He continued to re-invent himself and his art, leaving behind the expressionist landscape and opting for more of a geometric abstraction and «Bindu». Raza believed Bindu was the centre of creation and existence which progressed towards forms, colours, energy, sound, space and time.
Reza died at the age of 94 (2016) in New Delhi and is buried next to his father’s grave in Mandla city’s kabristan.
