Faith saved us from the savages that we were, losing faith makes us savages again
A los medicos se les han hecho muchos cuadros a través de la historia del arte y claro yo también tengo que meter la cuchareta…

Throughout art history many paintings have been dedicated to medical doctors and I will not be left out I have to put my two cents in…
Gracias…

Si, el nieto de Sigmund Freud el gran psicoanalista y uno de mis preferidos pintores… Como retratista era un super crack! Lo vais a ver…

Yes, the grandson of the great psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and one of my favourite painters… As a portrait painter he was above most, you’ll see…
Gracias…

Los retratos son una parte muy interesante de la historia del arte… Al principio eran solo los reyes, la nobleza y los mas ricos que podían encargar un retrato. Pero la cosa cambio y ahora hasta los gatos se retratan…

Portraits are a very interesting part of Art History… At first only kings, nobles and the very rich could commission their portraits. But later it all changed and now anyone can have a portrait done…

Dos términos en uno… Dos ideas enlazadas con pinceladas blancas, negras y amarillas… Una forma de pintar dividida en dos… Eso es mi expresionismo surrealista o mi surreal-expresionismo. Es mi forma de pensar, de currarme los cuadros, de transmitir ideas. El arte tiene que llegar lleno de emociones y las emociones no se cuecen al momento. Se desarrollan a fuego lento…

Two terms in one… Two ideas linked together with white, black and yellow brushstrokes… A way to paint divided in two… That is my Surreal-Expressionism, or Expressionism-Surreal. This is my way of working, of thinking and of transmitting ideas through my art. Art has to arrive full of emotions, but emotions are not cooked instantly, they must be slow cooked on a slow fire…

Comenzamos la jornada y la semana…
Nos hemos enterado que se va Benzema, que se ha salvado el Getafe, el Almería y el València del descenso y que se van el Espanyol, Elche y Valladolid… Ademas ganaron las chicas del Barça…
Los alemanes no quieren comer nuestras fresas de Huelva porque dicen que el agua que le riegan es de Doñana…
Siguen ocurriendo cosas extrañas porque nuestro gobierno sigue protegiendo a criminales que allanan viviendas y moradas (le llaman por el eufemismo de Okupas)…
Y, según el telediario, parece ser que los únicos crímenes ocurridos en España son ‘crímenes machistas’ y eso no lo entiendo…
Pero todo no es malo ni raro, las encuestan demuestran que es muy probable que después del 23 de julio tendremos un gobierno serio, popular y realmente progresista…
(We live as the hours that surround us die)
Time passes through our tranquil sea and we grow older, and love is no longer the wave that lifted us to the sky, it’s now the comforting warmth of the waters that surrounds us as we try,
with each word, with each wink, from tired eyes, and worn out speech, to brighten and enlarge those little rays of sun from years ago that time has stolen as she flies,
and everything we feel has changed, and what was once pure passion is now a distant thought because years ago to touch your hand, to steal a kiss…

The Euro-Ku I developed (or invented) on the 2nd of February 2022 to try to create, with my Western, European mind, the nuances and the strength that lies within the traditional Japanese Haiku. I took this route because I can, in no way, even begin to think like an Oriental. Our life experiences are different as is our culture and our history. Therefore, to honour this poetic form I had to make it fit the Western mindset.
I decided that the three verse structure was ideal because it required using the power of synthesis, but instead of a strict syllabic count, I would make my verses flow and ebb as long as needed. And they must flow into each other concisely and coherently, one building on the other but without ideas or words that just float away.
And the poem must be accompanied by the poet’s own illustration, photograph or painting. However, it must be the property of the poet and unedited.
That is all it takes to write a Euro-Ku. If you are from the American continent (meaning North, Central and South America) you might want to apply these guidelines and create your own Ameri-Ku based upon your history, culture and experience.
Cheers…
No es nada fácil por mucho que digan por ahi. El trabajo del artista es faena y hay que churrárselo bien para poder vindicarse con cada cuadro que uno pinta…
Gracias…
