THE LANDSCAPE MADE INTO A PAINTING

Haystacks of Valjunquera, Matarraña, Teruel

The landscape of the village of Valjunquera in Matarraña is made of stones and earth, fields of almond and olive trees, paths, a big sky, threshing floors, and haystacks. This is a landscape that is both intense and inviting, and it captivates me.
Haystacks are earth, stones, history, and the past. They are the people who worked them and they are the landscape of today.
Since I have known this landscape, I have sought and found painting in it.
The haystacks, with their basic shapes that now merge with the surroundings over time, are stains, shapes, and colors that weigh down or become subtle lines on the paper.
From an abstract perspective, haystacks and landscapes become paintings. Every detail, every color, every texture, every sensation.
This is the landscape as I see it, live it and feel it.
