La Nostalgia



"Quiero emborrachar mi corazón
Para apagar un loco amor, que más que amor es un sufrir.
Y aquí vengo para eso, a borrar antiguos besos
En los besos de otras bocas.
Si su amor fue flor de un día
Por qué causa siempre mía esta cruel preocupación.
Quiero por los dos mi copa alzar,
Para olvidar mi obstinación y mas la vuelvo a recordar."






"Nostalgias de escuchar su risa loca
Y sentir junto a mi boca
Como un fuego su respiración.
Angustia de sentirme abandonado
Y pensar que otro a su lado
Pronto, pronto le hablará de amor,
Hermano, yo no quiero rebajarme,
Ni pedirle ni llorarle, ni decirle
Que no puedo más vivir.
Desde mi triste soledad
Veré caer las rosas muertas de mi juventud."






"Quiero bandonear tocando gris,
Quizás a ti te hiera igual algún amor sentimental.
Llora mi alma de fantoche, solo y triste en esta noche,
Noche negra y sin estrellas.
Si las copas traen consuelo,
Aquí estoy con mi desvelo para ahogarlo de una vez.
Quiero emborrachar mi corazón
Para después poder brindar por los fracasos del amor."

Portrait of Dolores Manci



This is a conceptual portrait of a classmate of mine. She is a very resillient person, who has to cope with a lot of troubles in her life, but still manages to care for other people, and be very brave, friendly and enthusiastic. I also wanted to portray her kids and grandson in the small boat and her husband in the rocks. There are some dates which refer to important events in her life. The beach is very menainful to her as well, so I chose to incorporate it too.I am very glad that the picture ended up in her hands

The Baptist



John The Baptist is probably one of the most mystical figures of the Bible. He is said to be the precursor or forerunner of Jesus and some branches of the christianism regard him as the reincarnation of the Old Testament`s Prophet, Elijah. It has been written that he was one of the purest and honest of men, and lived preaching and making the baptism ceremony in the Jordan River. .
This is an old painting I made during june-july in a more spiritual phase of my life, where I depicted the saint in a sort of religious extasis in the Jordan, travelling through the cosmos. In the left top corner you can see him preaching to a small crowd at the same time.There are also lilies the bottom right corner- a symbol of purity. The latin which is not very clear in the photo says "Vox Clamantis in Deserto".Tools: Oils in MDF 34 x 49cm



Detail.



A very kind man lend me this beautiful frame for an exbition at my art school
and an art gallery of a public hospital. The photo is quite poor, but
the frame fit the artwork very nice and helped convey the sacred quality I wanted to show.
