Todo lo ha dominado el hombre…

¡Pues claro! Desde que existe el universo nos han dicho que Él creo a él y de la costilla de él, Él hizo a ella. Ella no era más que una mujer, y muy desobediente pues fue a comer de la fruta prohibida y le dio también a él y eso causó que ellos, y por ende la humanidad, fuesen expulsados del Eden, o sea, del paraíso. Bueno, algo así…

La Grecia antigua, Roma, Egipto, Persa, China, y los demás imperios de los tiempos de la antigüedad remota fueron todos dominados por grandes hombres, e.g. Alejandro Magno, Julio Cesar, Ramsés II, Ciro el Grande, Kangxi el Grande…

¿Querría decir esto que no habían mujeres capaces de regir sobre un imperio?

¡Vamos! ¡Claro que no! Pero no las dejaban hacer nada de eso. Si, claro que conocemos cuentos de la Reina del Sur, de Cleopatra, de Juana de Arcos, y de otras reinas del medioevo y del renacimiento, pero fueron pocas.

Y, ¿La mujer común y corriente, que ni era reina ni santa? ¿La que hubiera querido ser escritora, pintora, científica, medico?

Pero ya ha cambiado la cosa y se están tomando los pasos necesarios para garantizar la igualdad y se está respetando mas y mas a la mujer y también a otros seres discriminados.

Por eso me detuve a la orilla del Mar d’Ella a verla nadar como una sirena…

Man dominated everything…

Of course! Since the dawn of the Universe we have been told that He created he and from a rib He took from he, He made her, a woman. And quite disobedient she turned out to be. She ate of the forbidden fruit and gave he to eat as well. This caused he and she to be expulsed from Eden, or Paradise. Well, something like that…

Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Persia, China, and the rest of the great empires of antiquity, were all dominated by men, e.g. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Ramses II, Cyrus the Great and Kangxi the Great…

Can this mean that there were no women capable of governing an empire?

Come on! Of course not! But they were not allowed to do anything like that. Yes, we have heard about the Queen of the South, Cleopatra, Joan d’Arc and other queens of medieval times and the Renaissance, but there weren’t really that many.

And what about the normal, common woman, who was neither a queen or a saint? The one who wanted to be a writer, a painter, a scholar or a scientist?

But things have changed. Steps are being taken towards equality. Women are respected more as are others who have always been discriminated.

Because of that I stood at the shores of the Sea of She to watch her swim like a mermaid…

In the centre there’s the object of your fixed, intensive stare,

while you’re focused, barely breathing, burning atoms with your eyes on one location,

your life is slipping by in tiny ripples blue and green, and many colours in between…

This is one of my favourite songs of all time, the very well known Rodgers and Hammerstein «My Favorite Things» (sorry for the misspelling but that was how the composer wrote it), from the 1959 Broadway show. It was first sung by Mary Martin playing Maria. Then, came the 1965 movie The Sound of Music, and Julie Andrews made the song hers.

But when I first heard Coltrane’s version, well, I could not believe it! He played a soprano saxophone, which had been given to him by Miles Davis back in 1960, and he blew the song off the charts (musical charts that is, where the chord changes are written). He changed the G chord progression of the original to E minor and E major changes over these he and McCoy Tyner (piano) did their solos. Incredible! He changed the happy Sound of Music song into an Indian meditative chant!

John Coltrane recorded the song in 1960 with his new ensemble consisting of Elvin Jones on drums, McCoy Tyner on piano and Steve Davis on bass. He released the song in the album by the same name in 1961. It immediately became a concert favourite and a jazz standard. He played it at the 1963 Newport Festival.

This is an incredible tune. I love it both ways, by Julie Andrews and by Coltrane. What do you think?

And I could not leave you without the original…

Cheers…

I have opened a virtual gallery at this company and the image above as well as many others are now available, through this company. This fine art print is available framed, on wood, or on canvas. It is from an original painting that is now in the walls of a private European collector.

For information on originals, both acrylics and watercolours, as well as ink/graphite illustrations, please contact @Guloshka (via Instagram because that way you can see all the works available. We can ship from Spain. Originals only. I do not handle prints at Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia, that is why I have given them to this company. At times I am available for commissions, contact @Guloshka and we can discuss it.

So you can become a little more familiar with my work, here is a video of my work from early days as well, with original background music that I compose and some of it I do perform as well…

Cheers…
