Thoughts of a painter.

"A good drawing does not in any way compare unfavourably with a good painting. It is more the case that beneath every picture is an essential underlying drawing that sustains it, a skeleton that mobilises it and gives it form. Any painting lacking this base crumbles and appears flimsy.”

"Everybody asks themselves what art is. I think that art is any human creation that is able to lift the spirit to a higher plain of emotion and wonderment."

“…being a painter, a writer, a sculptor or a musician does not put one at a higher rank than any other profession. There are a lot of professions that, when carried out to the extreme, without a doubt achieve a higher level than that of the majority of artists. For instance, a wonderful craftsman, a maker of Manila shawls, can go further than a mediocre sculptor; the work can be superior. Or a great soccer player can raise greater passion than most of us, painters. To be an “artist” does not guarantee anything. However, sometimes a genius is born in a way that distinguishes the great arts, along with science, philosophy or politics, from any other endeavor. We cannot compare Michael Angelo’s Sixteen Chapel or Newton’s Law of Gravitation with the most amazing soccer goal. Art with capital letters is easy to detect; its light continues to shine through time.”
 

"The Spanish current painting has returned another time to have the audacity, the color, and the happiness of living that so few times it has had during its history. The art in Spain always came with a mark of melancholy and darkness. This was the consequence of being a nation with very scarce historical moments of calm and serenity. The Spanish are roused and creative, nobody doubts it, but many times they have been under the yoke of a neurotic morals that repressed their wonderful capacity for the art, the creativity and the science."

SURREALISM IN EFFECT DALÌ-MAGRITTE. (Translated with a computer)
What I paint is not surreal? From the moment they are not posing a vase on a table but gravitates or that the hat you put a woman is a sun in the twilight, I am doing surrealism. Better or worse, but surrealism. Which boredom and what wearisome lectures with the surrealistic painting has to be chiclosa, lamiosa with degraded always soft and hidden tricks prestidigitador arses in apples or crosses their women with veils vaporosos siren and flashes nuclear symphonic planets. No, the weight of Salvador Dalì and Rene Magritte, among others, is too powerful among many painters lacios that failed or know and understand that abuse their legacy distorsionándolo and weaken it, turning a way to surrealism in obliged technique. Sometimes I surreal, but I am also a expressionist, and I sign the popart if I tercia in any corner of the table. I paint a surreal picture without leaving my technique or my bill expressionist, or I can be harsh colors pop with and without repetitions manidas of marylines Meninas velazqueñas and medium hair: I do what gives me the wins. Today the painting is a powerful legacy inherited from centuries, free and open, and he grabs each painter terms like and need. Without technical fundamentalism.
Below dictatorships of the planet and fantastic, what monstrous, radical minimal, popart always sopero and fosforito, hyperrealism and down the path of eternal train and impressionism by loose touch noses. Luckily I occasionally see an artist of the stature of Edward Hopper, for example, and clean the entire painting and his technique so much mediocrity and claims, leaving up naked and crystalline, in its purest essence and present, the more Alfred Hitchcock style. And free.

On certain Galleries of Modern Art it is Spain. (Translated with a computer)
"Many museums and galleries of modern art of Spain, presently century 21, they are cold, hard, metallic spaces and extremely minimalists. Minimalism not well expert. This aesthetic fashion so arrogant and intellectual will be ridiculous with the step of the years. The north is the north and the south is the south.
In Spain we are sometimes so clumsy that we build a cold and hard architecture, typical of the countries of the north, totally far from the mediterranean style, except for some exceptions like the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, and other that are able to understand the modern art in a refreshing way and pasional, full with life and of mediterranean sun. But for many other Spanish current architects the mediterranean style doesn't seem sufficiently interesting, neither advanced, and in Spain many galleries and current art museums give until fear of entering in them, and the Nordic foreigners that want to visit them they believe, surprised that have returned in an instant, like in a lightning, to their countries of the north. Although they want to see and to feel the happiness and the color when they visit Spain and their museums and galleries, on the other hand they don't find anything of the mediterranean heat neither of the welcoming Spanish style. I suppose that it is only another stupid fashion. To be modern is not to be serious, prepotentes and gray. Can we imagine the pathetic effect of a gallery of art minimalist of Nordic style in, for example, Equatorial Guinea? I am sure that some Africans would shit very happy inside them. Pure art."
