JaZzArt en València

This print is a poster, you can order it here through this company that I am using to sell my selected artworks as fine art prints. They do it all from the sale to the shipping/delivery. You can also get this print in different forms, framed, in wood, metal or canvas. And you can see my gallery there so you can choose from others available (I change my gallery often).

Omnia Caelum Studios sells only my original artwork. For information and commissions, please contact @Guloshka (via Instagram so that you can see the collection of what is available). We can ship from Spain to almost anywhere. But prints are only available through this company that I have selected.

And remember I am Bodo Vespaciano…

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 fine art print of one of my original ink/graphite on paper drawings I now have made available through this company. You can have the image printed in different ways, like on canvas, on wood, on metal or as a poster or like above. Here is the link to my gallery at this company. They handle everything from the sale to the shipping.

For those collectors or art lovers interested in original art, please contact my representative @Guloshka (via Instagram so that you can see all the paintings/illustrations that are available) and we can also negotiate commissions, which I do once in a while. Here at Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia we only sell original works, prints are through this company only.

And here, in my YouTube channel you can watch many videos of my work since I began back in 1998 in Miami, Florida (US) as well as videos of Art History and other famous and important artists. Watch the video, give it a like and check out the others…

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…

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…

Aquí os traigo la segunda parte, ya creo que he concluido. Algunos ya se han vendido, y otros se vendieron antes de este vídeo…

Here I bring you the second part. I think I’ve finished. Some have already been sold, and others were sold before this video was made…

Gracias…

This is an image of my latest painting titled «Sunrise Over Your Battlefield». As you can see this is a genuine abstract painting. No figures here, no similarities to anything in the natural world, as it should be, according to the rules of art.

It also has a reference, internal naturally. The reference is a philosophical approach to the way we sense, feel or realise things when we are faced with adversity, danger, suffering or anything else stressful. The sun does not shine the same on the beach, when you are sipping your Margaritas under the warm, comforting rays, as it does when you are being showered with bullets, bombs and rockets…

Abstract art is very difficult, but if you create your story, in your mind, then perhaps attempt to illustrate them, and after you do, you can extract all the elements that would make your painting figurative, then you will have an abstract beginning to what would be a finished product. Abstract art faces all the problems and challenges of figurative art. It is not something random or intuitive. Art is contrived, planned, researched and prepared.

I will post the finished version soon…

Cheers…

Gora Euskal Erria…

Nuestro plato favorito a la hora de comer los domingos, y bueno otros días también. El arroz viene acompañado de diferentes ingredientes, pero a nosotros nos gusta el conejo (a mi el marisco). Pero ¿Que clase de arroz cocieras en esta paella?

This is our favourite dish at dinner time on Sundays! Well it could be other days as well. The rice comes with different ingredients but we like rabbit (Although I also like seafood). But what kind of rice can you cook in this paella (the paella is the pan)?

¿Quizá una de pollo? No me vayáis a decir que de lechuza…

Maybe one with chicken? Don’t say one with owl…

Y ¿En esta? ¿Vegana?

Ahora, buscad una receta y a la cocina…

Now, look for a recipe and to the kitchen…
