He sido amante del fútbol toda la vida y por supuesto cuando llega el mundial, bueno, estoy en la gloria… hubiera querido que fuera en otro país, pero es lo que hay… ¿Quién gana? Quien sabe… quiero que gane España, por supuesto… pero se que hay muy buenos equipos…

I’ve been a football fan all my life and when it’s time for the World Cup, I am delighted… I would have preferred a different country for it, but it is what we have…who will win? Who knows… I want Spain, of course… but I know there are many great teams there…

El cielo es algo fascinante… el cielo de Miami me hacía alucinar porque cada vez me parecía que lo habían esculpido… Un día, mirando el movimiento de las nubes, me puse a tocar el piano…
The sky is something fascinating… Miami’s sky always made me wonder because every time I looked up it seemed sculpted to me… One day, looking at the movement of the clouds I started playing the piano…
La entrevista a Francisco Bravo Cabrera parecía que se iría a paseo. En Valencia llovía de manera infernal y el taxi al bajarme del AVE había pinchado una rueda. ¿Quién pincha una rueda hoy en día? Al final me deja en la Calle de Burriana, quise abrir el paraguas y se atascó, lo dejé en […]

We all know how weird 2020 was, especially after 14 MAR 2020, but how was 2021 for you. I mean it wasn’t over yet… I did manage to get some work done in the studio…

I have to say that during 2020 I did not paint too much because… well we all know why… I did manage some work because I had some canvases and paints at home, but I was not able to buy materials until things had gone back to normal and the stores reopened. But in 2021 it was a different story. I was able to get back to work, but I worked in a much smaller format. All the paintings were sold to private collectors from all around Europe and today I was looking at them and thinking, do they say anything about the pandemic?
An Euro-Ku is what I call a Haiku done by a Westerner with a Western mentality but recognising and utilising the Eastern form of poetry and philosophical expression. In other words, adapting it to our way of thinking.
The Euro-Ku, as well as the Ameri-Ku (same idea but with an American mentality), must also contain three lines, however they can be as long as the writer needs or wants them to be. One important difference is that they must tell a clear, and simple story or complete thought. They must paint the picture with words clearly and with a fluid form of expression. Objectivity is the ideal here. Lastly, it must include a photograph or picture, original or done by someone who has ceded their rights to you that somehow, directly or indirectly refers to the text of the three lines.
That is basically it. The rules of the Euro-Ku and I invite anyone to try it. You poets out there might like it. It is something different and poetry, like all other art forms, is the search…
Ya parece que llega el invierno a nuestro país donde se apagan fuegos pero aparecen otros… parece mentira que en un país como el nuestro aprueben una ley que le reduce la sentencia a los que cometen agresiones contra mujeres… la ley de sólo sí es si, no tiene sentido, primero porque fue ideada en un ministerio que no tiene razón de ser… es un bochorno…
«Art Digital», is how I refer to my own style of digital art. It can be done in many ways. I am sure that you, as an artist, has looked into it. There are programmes out there that will serve the purpose that work and can be quite useful in creating impressive digital images. But I like to start with the digital image of something that I have created or photographed. From there I take it to extremes, through manipulations, and look for my finished product. It is still art. It is still the search. It is still under the same rules, the same ideas and guidelines. Some of these might be considered straight out abstract art. Others are distinctly confusing, but figurative…
