God works in mysterious ways
Mysterious ways
Ah
Hey!
One man, one goal
Ha, one mission
One heart, one soul
Just one solution
One flash of light
Yeah, one god, one vision

(From «One Vision» written by Queen)

Queen was always one of my favourite bands. They were phenomenal, theatrical, powerful, spiritual and very melodic. They had the best frontman in rock and one of the best guitarist, coupled with a fantastic bass player and a drummer who really kicked arse…

Cheers…

And so ends an era…

Although Brian May wrote this song, Queen did perform it with Freddy singing it. It wasn’t really about Freddy’s death, but Brian did sing it later in the memorial…

And then…

«The Show Must Go On» … The last song on the last album from 1991… This song is about how Freddy Mercury continued to work on even after being sick with AIDS… You will always be the greatest voice of rock and your legacy of love, peace and friendship will let all know that you loved us all till the end…

Cheers…

¿La ley de la gravedad? Una teoría, una leyenda que no aguanta el peso de las cosas. Las cosas tienen masa y peso y por eso caen…

The law of gravity? A theory. A legend that does not have any weight, like things have. Things have mass and weight and that’s why they fall…

Gracias…

Cheers…

For me there is no doubt, Freddy Mercury was the best frontman of rock… He was a prolific songwriter and musician and his tenor voice set him apart from the hoards of singers out there fronting great bands, mediocre ones and bad ones… But there was no one like Freddy. He loved life, secrecy, his intimacy and privacy… He said too much love can kill you…

Here is one of his final songs, «The Miracle.» Released in 1989 in the album of the same name. It was Queen’s last hit of the 1980’s and the song was written by the four lads, although Freddy and John Deacon were the main contributors to the song. «The one thing we’ve been waiting for is peace on earth and an end to war…»

Cheers…

Released in 1975 in the album A Night at the Opera and written by Freddy Mercury, «Bohemian Rhapsody» is considered by millions of fans to be Queen’s top song. I agree, although as a fan of the band, I like most of their songs just as much. This song remains the UK’s third best selling single of all time… «Bohemian Rhapsody» was a song that was in Freddy’s mind since the 1960’s. He had written it in parts, mostly as three songs and he kept developing it until perfection.

Cheers…

Farrokh Bulsara, born, 1946, in Stone Town in the Sultanate of Zanzibar, died on the 24th of November, 1991, at the age of 45 in London… He went by the name Freddy Bulsara and Larry Lurex before officially taking on the surname Mercury. And as Freddy Mercury he conquered the rock world. Without a doubt one of the most iconic voices in rock, Freddy Mercury was also a prolific writer who wrote many of Queen’s big hits. He left us much too soon.

Here is Queen’s first hit:

Stay tuned for part 2…

The team at Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia and VALENCIARTIST Blog humbly beg your forgiveness as we will not be as attentive as we usually are to your posts and comments, although we will try to post something daily. Because we are all in preparations for the upcoming show «Atrévete» («Be Bold») we will not be able to be as active online as usual, and much less during the days when the show is open to the public. But rest assured we will be keeping an eye on VALENCIARTIST every day.

If you live in Valencia or are in town between the 12th and the 23rd of October (not including the 23rd), we cordially invite you to pass by the Sala d’Exposicions de Ciutat Vella, situated in the heart of Valencia, Carrer del Micalet, 1, and we will gladly welcome you. We are sure you will be quite engaged with the artwork and well pleased as well.

Cheers…

Haremos una breve pausa porque el equipo de Omnia Caelum Studios y de este Valenciartist Blog estará preparando para la próxima apertura de «Atrévete» y luego durante la duración de la exposición. Así que os pedimos disculpas por no estar tan atentos como siempre lo estamos, aunque trataremos de sacar algo todos los días en el blog. Además, estáis todos invitados a pasar…si vivís o estáis en Valencia…por la Sala d’Exposicions de Ciutat Vella en Carrer del Micalet,1, del 12 al 23 de octubre, que será un gran placer saludaros.

Gracias…

Hay una cita (a mi personalmente no me consta, pero…) de Picasso que dice que cuando le preguntaron, «¿Que es el arte?» el maestro respondió que no sabia y que si lo supiera no se lo diría a nadie… Como he dicho, a mi no me consta que Picasso haya dicho esto, pero quizá. Picasso si dijo, y esto está en el libro de Françoise Gillot, que el arte era subterfugio y más o menos eso puede avalar el dicho, no lo se… Pero yo si os voy a contestar a la pregunta. El arte es subterfugio, Picasso tenía razón, pero el arte es la búsqueda. El arte se logra con talento y el talento se pilla buscándolo en la faena, la ardua y pesada faena…

There is a quote (which I personally cannot confirm, but…) attributed to Picasso that says when asked, «What is art?» the master replied that he didn’t know and that if he did, he wouldn’t tell anyone… As I mentioned, I cannot confirm that Picasso actually said this, but perhaps he did. Picasso did say, and this is in Françoise Gillot’s book, that art is subterfuge (cunning), and that more or less supports the saying, I don’t know… But I will answer the question for you. Art is subterfuge, Picasso was right, but art is also the pursuit, the search. Art is achieved with talent, and talent is acquired through diligent and arduous work…
