Jorge Fin I am a cloud painter and an eminent member of the Cloud Appreciation Society of London. Master of realism Antonio Lopez, during a visit to one of my exhibitions, said of one of my cloud paintings, ʺpoco ruido, poco ruido...ʺ (ʺvery little noise, very little noise...ʺ) He depicted my intention of making ‘no noise’-paintings perfectly... When Salvador Dalí was asked what he would save if the Prado Museum were in flames, he said: The air of Las Meninas, by Velazquez. I wish to follow that silent way.
