Art Journal Poetry / Poesía




Through my window I can see 'Poetry' / A través de mi ventana puedo ver "Poesía".

These journal pages are a tribute to one of my favorite poets. Gustavo Adolfo Claudio Domínguez Bastida, better known as Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 -1870), was a Spanish Romantic (post-romanticist period) poet and writer, also a literary columnist and talented in drawing. He is considered one of the most important figures in Spanish literature. His best known works are the 'Rhymes and the Legends'. Here you have a small sample, Rhymes 21 and 23:


Estas páginas de mi diario de arte son un tributo a uno de mis poetas favoritos. Gustavo Adolfo Claudio Domínguez Bastida, más conocido como Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 -1870), fue un poeta español perteneciente al Romanticismo (Post-Romanticismo), también escritor, columnista y un talentoso dibujante. Y está considerado como una de las figuras más importantes de la literatura española. Sus obras más conocidas son las "Rimas y Leyendas". Aunque pienso que todos vosotros ya las conocéis, arriba os he dejado un pequeño ejemplo, Rimas 21 y 23.

El fondo fue creado usando una capa de gesso, pinturas acrílicas y varios sellos. Para crear el cielo falso en la ventana y el hexágono, utilicé pasta de textura (Ranger) con  una plantilla Dayka y pintura azul metálica. Los libros apilados es un sticker de Prima y el libro abierto es una pieza de decoupage. El corazón es un framelit de Sizzix y el borde decorativo es de Tim Holtz Alterations. También he utilizado crackle paint Distress en varios detalles.

The background was created using a coat of gesso, acrylic paints and various stamps. To create the faux sky in the window and the hexagon, I used texture paste (Ranger) through a Dayka stencil and metalic blue paint. The books is a chipboard-piece from Prima and the opened book is a piece of decoupage. The heart is a framelit from Sizzix and the decorative edge is fromTim Holtz Alterations. I also used in several pieces crackle paint Distress.

  12. Desde luego es nuestro poeta favorito, Margik, e incluso nos sabemos muchas de sus rimas. Nos encanta como asoma por esa ventana rodeado por el romanticismo de sus poesías y de tu composición, con la que le has rendido un precioso homenaje.

    Un beso enorme de las dos
