#art, La luz y el color del mundo – Light And the Colour of the World

(«Sonistus» de/by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/Derechos Reservados/All Rights Reserved)

«Sonistus» pertenece a una serie de pinturas que exploran el impacto de la luz, la luz del dia, según la captan los ojos nuestros, los del observador. Vemos colores por donde quiera que miremos, eso es algo particular y general en nuestra vida y de nuestra humanidad. No todos los seres vivos que deambulan por Mater Terram ven los colores que los rodean, y no digo solo los colores de las cosas, sino los colores que solos van de cosa en cosa y nuestros ojos humanos los perciben aunque no nos demos cuenta. Esa luz, ese impacto es lo que he tratado de reproducir en esta serie de cuadros. Las manchas de colores se animan unas a las otras, se unen, se separan, se juntan y se dispersan sin lógica y sin sentido, aparentemente, pero todo esta bien calculado bajo el sol pues la Tierra, la naturaleza y nosotros mismos somos fruto de la creación, no de la aleatoriedad.

«Sonistus» belongs to a series of paintings that explore the impact of light, daylight, as captured by our eyes, the eyes of the observers. We see colours everywhere we look, something that is particular and general in our lives and our human condition. Not all living beings wandering through Mater Terram see the colours that surround them, and I don’t just mean the colours of things, but the colours that move from one thing to another under the light. Our human eyes perceive them even if we don’t realize it. That light, that impact, is what I have tried to reproduce in this series of paintings. The splashes of colours animate each other, come together, separate, join, and disperse without logic and without apparent meaning, but everything is well calculated under the sun because the Earth, nature, and ourselves are the result of creation, not randomness.

#art, Bodo, Colour My World!

Colour by itself can be a work of art as it communicates, conveys emotions and fills up a canvas creating a beautiful composition… but we’ll make it figurative by adding more…

Gracias – Cheers

This was a year of great changes, as at the end of 2008 I stopped painting and dedicated myself entirely to drawing and I did it exclusively for four more years, until in 2012 I returned to painting and continued doing both from then on…

#art, #music, Middle of the Week Jazz!

(«Monk Plays» original artwork by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

One of my favourite of the jazz pianists and composers, Thelonious Monk, born in North Carolina (US) in 1917… This cat was one of the founders of bebop back in the 1940’s… Monk composed «Round Midnight«, «Straight No Chaser«, «52nd Street Theme» y «Blue Monk«… The only jazz composer with more tunes is Duke Ellington… Another interesting fact about this outstanding jazz musician is that ​he was among the only five jazzmen to be featured on the cover of Time magazine (1964). The other four are Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Wynton Marsalis.

Thelonious Monk retired from performing in 1973. He died of a brain haemorrhage on the 17th of February 1982.
