WILD BEAUTY, oil on canvas and ceramic

WILD BEAUTY, oil on canvas painting with ceramic "hair" glued to the canvas, 24x36, in exhibition and available for purchase at THE GLASHAUS, 1815 Main Street, San Diego, California.

This art piece is part of a collaborative exhibition by the artists at The Glashaus Studios and Gallery. We combined our artistic skills and crazy ideas, and came up with new work we had not even imagined before we started! We surprised each other and ourselves. The result was a fantastic collaboration of different media never attempted before. It was awesome! It is a beautiful show, only two more weeks.

UNDERSTANDING, oil on book cover, framed

UNDERSTANDING, oil on book cover, framed, 28x40 cm.
This is one of a series of four paintings on book-covers, framed. I painted them in France, although two of the book covers were in English. I experimented working with book covers, sealing the inside and the outside of the discarded book-cover before painting. The cover and the title of the book gave me the inspiration no how to go on.

The complete series of four: Understanding, Truth, Beauty and Eternity,  are in exhibition at Kettner Arts Studio and Gallery, in Little Italy, San Diego, California. The Reception is tomorrow Friday, February 14, from 6-9 pm. I hope to see  you there!

Lucrezia

Lucrezia, oil on canvas, 24x20" (60x50 cm.) Sold in San Diego, California.
William Turner was a pioneer in abandoning the old belief that pictures should have a predominantly warm tonality, which was actually the result of old yellowing varnish. He had the idea of "cool collaboration", and used it for the subject of fire and water, in his painting: "The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons" (1834).

William Turner fue un pionero en abandonar la vieja creencia que las pinturas debian tener una tonalidad predominantemente calida, que en realidad era el resultado del barniz viejo volviendose amarillo. El tenia la idea de la colaboracion de los colores frios, que uso para el fuego y el agua en su pintura: "El incendio de las Casas del Parlamento". (1834).
