Back to Flamenco

Some years ago, I started a series of Flamenco paintings, most of them in pastel on coloured paper. Unfortunately at that time I was not bothered neither about the internet nor about keeping track of nor taking photos of the paintings I sold, and most of these flamenco paintings are gone for me now

Here is one of the rare ones I still have a photo of

If I remember well, I sold it to a Norwegian woman, and it was meant as a wedding gift for a friend of hers…

Well, these days, in connection with the new project “travelscapers”, I came to think that I should do some new flamenco artworks to present them there…

Well, I didn’t think long and started. In a totally different style, in that new technique I developed for the Fantascapes.2 years ago.

I call this new series “The Flamencoscapes”.. .what else!

It should become a long series, at least I hope I will have the energy to work regularly on it. At the moment I am -like most of the time! -especially fond of representing the movement and the colours, but I want to paint the passion too, the pain, the bitterness., the music…

“Toro 2010″: new bullfight paintings – #13

“Si nuestro teatro tuviese el temblor de las fiestas de toros, sería magnífico. Si hubiese sabido transportar esa violencia estética, sería un teatro heroico como La Iliada… Una corrida de toros es algo muy hermoso”
Ramón María del Valle-Inclán

(Spanish dramatist, poet and novelist, 1866 – 1936)

(“If only our theatre had the shivering of the bullfight feasts, it would be wonderful. If it only knew how to transport that aesthetic violence, it would be a heroic theatre, like the bullfight arena. A bullfight is something very beautiful.”)
