Francisco Urquidi

I was born in Ambato - Ecuador 13 December 1950

Always knew it would be an artist, a painter and poet. A philosopher who wanders through life trying to explain the unexplainable, and sometimes I succeed. It is most strange! But ... I cooked the stars at the corners of the lips and a sigh and eternity is infinity in a single breath and no longer seeks to explain the reason for the math and the priority between eggs or chickens, just paint pictures in that light is intrinsic to its very essence, is born of color, shapes, textures, the substance itself. Is that, to paint, I'm just this up and see what, happens on the canvas ... and wonder.

- Why are you or you feel an artist?
- Why not BE another thing, the truth, I think anyone in the world knows to be another arena. Artist agree that somehow stands for the Creator, therefore, if, being created in the image and likeness of the eternal substance, infinite, undivided ... (Let's give the name we give it), we conclude that the act of CREATION, being an act of eternal substance, is itself, an eternal act, and being part of the indivisible comforting, act, and artists (creators) in the very act of creation.

- What emerges your creativity?
- To begin, let the death card Tainted idea of inspiration. Everything in the Arts is happening as everything happens in this world: it is a question of work and implementation work and tenacity. Automatically. And when you become the craftsman of your workshop, it is when it will begin to emerge for creativity, you'll have a port of departure for the journey of travel and observation, to share and feel, to experience the joys and sorrows of men and women of this society. You have to eat his shoes, you have to drink their tears, you have to squeeze their hunger and their sores, you get to the dawn of a new day and plan your glorious creation hymns of faith and optimism. You turn on the light in the dark and stormy night the system. You have to love.

- Does God Exist?
- Yes.! Course there is! I am ... and You too.

- What is your opinion of the art market?
- I think, a car VOLVO (which I like) costs $ 99,000. My paintings are worth more.


- That brings art to the earth?
- Makes possible the life on it. Generates thought, and the: economy, science, politics, ideologies, religions, morals ... in short, all the good and evil that is brewing on it, including the concept of good and evil which is the most disastrous that has ever conceived.

- What is your opinion artistasdelatierra.com?
- Ha!, If they had more places like artistasdelatierra.com, where the creative spirit can be expressed freely, of course, with some aesthetic censorship, basically, surely, the world would be an orchard and a flower dignity
