(While listening to Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet Suite No.2)
 
An undisturbed thought forms itself like arms that entwine around you.
Vibrating, with speeds unimaginable,
thoughts born within us cascade through a highway of flesh
to embrace you.
We float on clouds towards the essence of you...
 
An unstoppable energy forms rhythms and heartbeats
reverberating from an empty dome.
Thesis becomes a man,
antithesis a woman.
Synthesis runs barefoot across a creek,
an artery of sweet, sweet water,
willing me a kiss,
and venturing towards the light of you...
 
A phantom whirls, and
winds chant vespers through a tunnel,
through a mountain.
Intention becomes a moist, cool breeze,
our song that now flies aimlessly and so very high.
No!
Gravity cannot hold it here on Earth.
Can’t you see it is rising towards the delicious essence of you?
 
NOTA BENE
To reach spirituality in art one must be true to one’s time, place, history and experience. Spirituality comes from one’s culture and holds no reference to reality. In the supposed real world we are limited but in the other world we are free.

Francisco graduated from Florida International University (FIU) and began his career in the arts in Miami, Florida by opening his studio/gallery Omnia Caelum Studios Miami in 2003. His first professional exhibition was at PG Gallery in Istanbul, Turkey. From there he exhibited in Spain, New York and Florida, therefore he has exhibited professionally in North America, Europe and Asia. His paintings and drawings are in private collections all over the world. His work represents the results of his artistic quest to develop, without the need of a “style”, but with the need to communicate and to transmit a message of power and light to all. Now he operates his studio/gallery in Spain, renaming it Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia.
