Fuera de serie


El violinista.

Ya dije que me gustaba la música clásica, así que también pinté un violinista, aunque éste no únicamente por motivos musicales... Es mi abuelo, un hombre peculiar, porque ser violinista, poeta y protestante en España, en los años treinta, te convertía en poco menos que un bicho raro, tanto, que en la guerra y en la post-guerra, fue perseguido por republicanos por creer en Dios, y por los fascistas por ser protestante respectivamente.

  3. Very nice painting. I do not speak or read Spanish unfortunately but I have lots of friends here at work who do, so I could read your post. Your grandfather must have been a strong individualist to prevail in the face of persecution from both political sides.

  9. Hola Benjamin! De verdad que es fuera de serie, son de esas obras que valen mucho, tiene un toque de misterio, de fuerza como lo mencionaron ya y con "soul". Pocas veces me atrevo a usar grises, me gusta la manera como los manejas.

  10. muchas gracias amedina!! es un placer leer tu comentario. a mi me encanta el gris, pero con negro hecho, n el negro comercial. es mejor hacerlo con azul ultramar oscuro y tierra sombra tostada.
