Dear friends…

Today begins the curation and mounting of the paintings at the museum. It has been a busy period for all of us here at Omnia Caelum Studios, but we are enthusiastic and extremely happy. We will open the doors to the Sala d’Exposicions de Ciutat Vella (the museum), God willing, on Thursday, 12th of October, 2023 and we will be there until Sunday 22 OCT 2023. We invite you all. The address is Carrer del Micalet, 1, Valencia, Spain.

There are so many people I wish to thank! So many friends have volunteered to assist in every way, and they have been much needed and their assistance is greatly appreciated. I will post all their names very soon. But now, my friends from the blog, please understand that, although I’ve scheduled posts for every day, I might not be checking in as usual. So if I do not reply or do not comment, please forgive me. I will be back to commenting and replying after the closing. In the meantime I will do everything I can to read your posts.

God bless…

Ya comienza…

Hoy comenzamos a preparar la sala, el montaje de las obras y la curación también. Es faena pero estamos todos aquí, el equipo de Omnia Caelum Studios, muy contentos y entusiasmados. El jueves a las 19 horas, si Dios quiere, abriremos las puertas de la Sala d’Exposicions de Ciutat Vella. Estáis todos invitados al Carrer del Micalet, 1, Valencia…

Tengo que agradecer el apoyo de tantos queridos amigos que han venido a participar conmigo y ayudarme con todo lo que hay que hacer previo a la apertura de una exposición de arte. Ya los mencionaré a todos…

Y vosotros mis amigos del blog, yo se que no vais a poder venir, pero os mantendré informados lo más que pueda. No voy a estar mucho en el blog, pero habrán entradas diarias. Disculpadme si no comento ni respondo, ya lo haré después del 23 de octubre…

Que Dios os bendiga, un fuerte abrazo a todos.

#art, Abstraction = Reaction

(Francisco/Bodo, actor portrayal)

Abstract art is one of the vanguards of the 20th Century that is still alive and thriving today…

Tell me what you think of abstract art…

#art, Great Women Artists: Fernande Olivier

(Fernande and Pablo in Paris/Photo La Razón)

Not only Picasso’s first love in Paris, but a model and an artist in her own right, this beautiful and intelligent woman is someone that the art world needs to recognise. So even if «they» won’t remember her, you will after watching this brief video of her work…

#art, Great Artists: Baldomero Romero Ressendi

Definitely one great artist that you (probably) never heard of. Why? Because art schools are twisted and skewed and only teach about artists making the scene as non-figurative «conceptual» artists. Who needs art schools anyway? There are many professional academies in practically all cities in Europe where you can get a much more rounded and complete art education. And believe me, if you want to be an artist you need a good professional education. Art is not something you can improvise and it is not intuitive. Art is objective and quite complex…

Hope you enjoy this brief look at Baldomero Romero Ressendi, a great painter from Sevilla, Andalucía, Spain.
