Is this Art? My kid can do it!
A view of the 42nd Annual Juried Art Exhibition at the Visual Art Center in Clarington ON
In the midst of social gatherings, I often find myself exercising restraint when the topic of art arises. It’s a subject as delicate as the threads of a spider’s web, akin to the impassioned realms of religion or politics. Unlike the latter two arenas, where opinions flow freely like a torrential river,…

Nude of the Green Room (Homage to Bacon)
Crafting a statement for a painting can be a daunting task. What do I wish to convey? How best to articulate it? Will it resonate with viewers? These questions swirled in my mind as I embarked on this artistic endeavor.
Recently, I had the privilege of showcasing my work at an Art Show of Miniatures in the Netherlands. It marked my third foray into exhibiting in Europe, following exhibitions in…

Instagram and the Holy Inquisition Algorithm
Instagram, the arbiter of digital decency, embarked on a censorship tango with my artistic pursuits – a saga that unfolded not once, but twice. The stage was set in the unassuming realm of a Canadian Erotica Themed Art Show: “A Hot Minute” a three ring erotic art show with venues in Victoria BC, North Vancouver BC and Calgary AB, an opportunity I embraced with exuberance, naively believing in the…

About the utility of Art
I have read a lot about Art, its meaning, its purpose and about how useful is in the real world.
Do we need Art? What is the purpose of an artist?
My answer it’s no, we don’t need art, the vast majority of my friends and acquaintances have zero interest in art and never have been in an art gallery and the world is still spinning.
Is it about money then? Why invest on art when you can invest in…

Taylor Swift and the Duct Taped Banana
–Taylor Swift is better than that music… and let me tell you: Taylor Swift is very bad!
And that’s how it ended my introduction of John Cage to my 13yo kid.
We started the conversation talking about modern art and it raised up the work “Comedian” AKA the Duct Taped Banana from Maurizio Cattelan. He was questioning why a banana stuck on a wall can worth millions of dollars,Well to their defense,…

Nude of the Green Room (Homage to Bacon)
There are some compositions in Francis Bacon’s works that aim the use of geometrical lines to define an architectural space almost like an invisible room that Bacon makes visible by drawing lines as in a comic book. I didn’t realize that until I read about it in an article in internet, I don’t even remember who publish the article or the author but after that it was clear to me that space behind…

Art Submissions
FlaskTempera on CanvasCarlos Fentanes
I’ve just clicked the submit button. It’s the 21st time on this year, 3 submissions per month, one every 10 days. Results? Nothing, niente, nada, in the best cases it’s just a rejection letter, in half of the submissions I didn’t receive anything, sometimes I found out the results on social media. I haven’t been accepted to any physical show this year and…
