Father to Son

Father to Son
Acrylic on stretched canvas.
I was listening to “Father to son” by Queen, my very first favorite band (I was 11 years old and I was wearing an old Queen shirt) when I started this painting.
So why not include it in the “Inspired by a song” category.
By the way, this one was written by Brian May.
Here’s the song: Father to Son
Here’s the lyrics:
a word in your ear, from father to son
hear the words that I say
i fought with you, fought on your side
long before you were born
joyful the sound, the word goes around
from father to son, to son
and the voice is so clear, time after time it leeps
calling you, calling you on
don’t destroy what you see, your country to be
just keep on building on the ground that’s been won
kings will be crowned, the word goes around
from father to son, to son
take this letter that I give you,
take it sonny, hold it high
you won’t understand a word that’s in it
but you’ll write it all again before you die
a word in your ear from father to son
funny you don’t hear a single word I say
but my letter to you, will stay by your side
through the years till the loneliness is gone
sing if you will -
but the air you breathe I live to give you
father to son
father to, father to, father to son
joyful the sound, the word goes around
from father to son, to son…
kings will be crowned, the word goes around
from father to son, to son…

Just thinking
Acrylic on stretched canvas.
This was a project from the time I was in the art school.
I was trying to create a portrait of a person without the person (without a model).
I think that drawing or painting from a model is good exercise, it lets you understand proportions, light and shade, skin tones, etc.
On the other hand when you create something just using your imagination the result will be unique.
You will ask yourself why this color, why these shapes, why that posture, gesture, position, what’s wrong with me, and there will be no right answer.

The Writer – Pencil on paper.
This is another unplanned drawing, nobody in particular, just came out like that.
When I draw a face I’m always asked: who is that?
- Nobody you know…

This image is based on a series of photos I took from the bridge that crosses Av. Libertador by the Facultad de Derecho (Law University) in Buenos Aires, Argentina about 12 years ago.
Same technique as usual, photography painted with a digital tablet, this one was printed on canvas. Read more

I submitted this image to JPG Magazine for their theme titled “Growing up”.
I got more than 80 votes and I truly thought that I was going to get it published but I guess it’ wasn’t good enough.
Anyway, they left me a lot of positive comments and also set it as a favorite 55 times which made me really happy.
This is a candid snapshot. The children didn’t know I was there (except the one covering her eyes).
Taken with a 10mm fisheye lens, 1/125 sec at f/2.8, iso 100, Speedlite bounced to ceiling.
Color-processed to black and white.

Pencil on paper. Not much to say. I guess this one is from a series of imaginary portraits that I ‘ve been working on these last couple of years.
On these type of work, there’s no plan. Just start drawing and see what comes out.
