Que más te puedo decir si la linea negra es el alma del dibujo y el dibujo es la esencia del arte…

What more can I tell you. The black line is the soul of a drawing and drawing is the essence of art…

#travel, A Visit to Benidorm

(Photo by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

Benidorm is one of the hottest summer spots on the Mediterranean. Situated just 45 minutes (by car) from the city of Alicante, it is the city with the most high-rise buildings per capita in the world. And a wonderful place to spend the summer… Enjoy the video…

#music, Sunday Music: The Dave Clark Five…

This was the band that John Lennon thought could steal the limelight from the Beatles during the «British invasion» of America (US)… And this was my favourite song for a long time as a lad…

(actually there is a kind of John Lennon look alike there, no?)

#art, El par: Picasso y Dalí – The Pair: Picasso & Dalí

Para mi Picasso siempre ha sido la gran inspiración. Mi trabajo artístico siempre se ha nutrido de la inmensa obra picassiana y considero al gran genio del S. XX mi mentor. No lo imito, pero si aprendo de el y creo que he logrado, hasta cierto punto, conocer su mente artística y usar sus secretos que me han sido muy útiles en el desarrollo de mi trabajo. Mi arte no es picassiana, es hibrida pues la he mezclado con muchas otras tendencias artísticas, pero como considero, como nos enseñó Kandinsky, que el arte tiene que reflejar el momento histórico en el que se hace para que tenga la espiritualidad que lo hace triunfar, he desarrollado mi propio estilo, el «expresionismo-surrealista.» Y es ahi donde aparece la influencia, aunque minima, de Salvador Dalí. El artista que se autoproclamó genio pero que no lo era… Aquí os brindo visiones de estos dos grandes del arte español del S. XX, claro, a través del prisma del expresionismo-surrealista que yo trabajo…

+++++

Pablo Picasso has always been my great inspiration. My artistic work has always been nourished by Picasso’s immense body of work, and I consider the great genius of the 20th century to be my mentor. I don’t imitate him, but I learn from him and believe that I have been able, to some extent, to understand his artistic mind and use his secrets to enhance the development of my work. My art is not Picasso-esque; it is hybrid, as I have mixed it with many other artistic tendencies. However, as Kandinsky taught us, I believe that art must reflect the historical moment in which it is created in order for it to have the spirituality that makes it succeed. Thus, I have developed my own style, «Surreal-expressionism.» And it is there that the influence, albeit minimal, of Salvador Dalí appears, the artist who proclaimed himself a genius but was not… Here I offer you my artistic impression of these two great Spanish artists of the 20th century, of course, through the prism of the surreal-expressionism…

#art, Conga Man and Woman…by Bodo Vespaciano

Jazz is played with any instrument and with any rhythm that is the beauty of Jazz, America’s Classical Music, that adheres to three principles: 1) The performer as composer; 2) Improvisation; 3) Rhythm (used to be Swing, can still be, but other rhythms will fit right in). I paint these and one of my favourite instrumentalists is the «conga» drummer. Here he/she is in different forms, as Jazz should be…
