The sky over Valencia
2022, oil on canvas, 80x60 cm.
Urban arias are captivating. As human-made ecosystems, cities are powerful mirrors of the societies that inhabit them. Their public structures, neighborhoods, markets, smells, and noises all form the spirit of the place. You can judge the health of the society by the way a city operates. But what lives in your memories after some time is the feeling of the place. Valencia is the warm evenings, the perfume of Azahar, the street carnivals, the sea breeze, and the blue sky.
