Siempre he sido fiel seguidor de la fuerza que es la línea negra, y como el arte es la búsqueda yo busco y siempre encuentro.

I’ve always been a faithful follower of the power of the black line. And since art is the search, I search and I always find.

“THE MEDICAL VERSES NO.2” by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

“A MAN THAT LOSES HIS HONOUR FOR HIS BUSINESS LOSES HIS BUSINESS AND HIS HONOUR” (Francisco de Quevedo)

Quevedo tenía razón y yo me apunto y es más diría que también a los políticos les cabe esta frase porque estamos hartos de ver como nos engañan y nos deshonran. Los problemas de los pueblos se afrontan y se resuelven; los problemas no tienen nada que ver con la derecha ni con la izquierda. Los problemas de los pueblos no tienen ideología…

Quevedo was right and I’m in and I would say that politicians also fit this phrase because we are tired of seeing how they deceive us and dishonor us. The problems of the peoples are faced and solved; the problems have nothing to do with the right or the left. The problems of the peoples have no ideology…

AND THEN THERE’S WATER

Is it sad
to go looking through the ashes? The fires of passion once were crystal clear and pure with dancing flames that consumed us but strengthened us. Heat that paced the rhythm of our hearts; annihilated the oxygen in the air. It left behind just dust…

What could we ever hope to find?

I never kept my word.
Bad, late and never I repaid you. And I never wrote you a love song, never will…

Which god denied us happiness?
Was it the one who stole our innocence and plundered our wonder?
Was it because we climbed his Tree and satisfied our hunger with its tiny fruits?
We just wanted to taste them, discover their flavour, bite through their skin and let their juices moisten the silken robes that we slept in…

And then there’s water…
Water puts out fires. And the years? They whiten the sunburn of a summer’s love…

It’s me that now, with sweat-stained fingers, that winds the clock.

It’s not our fault.

We’re broken and every day more and more pieces of us fall carelessly to the dust.

Tears are not enough.
Nowadays they’re greatly overvalued.
They’re not worth what they were worth before,
yet, some still proclaim they are.

It’s now just you.
Sometimes just me.
No trace of us.

We aren’t innocent, but we aren’t guilty.
What destroyed us was an act of God…

(As I listen to “Goodbye Porkpie Hat” by Charles Mingus)

Vale, quizá lo hayas adivinado, fui bajista y bueno, todavía lo soy…

Ok, so you might have guessed it, I was a bassist, and well, I still am…

Aquí si hay talento y un sentido de lo que es el arte. Las obras tienen algo que las distingue como buenas y aunque Anthony Hopkins sea un famoso, se ve que se ha dedicado a pintar y lo ha hecho adquiriendo los conocimientos necesarios para no faltar al respeto que le merece el arte del pintor, y lograr obras autenticas. El vídeo te lo dirá todo…

Here there is talent and a sense of what art is. The artworks have something that distinguishes them as good, and although Anthony Hopkins is a famous actor, he can be seen dedicating himself to painting and doing so by acquiring the necessary knowledge to respect the art of painting and create authentic works. The video will tell you everything…

Gracias…
