Guillena´s postal cards

     Dear Fran,

     I have started to paint a series of pictures of a town called Guillena and its two small villages: Las Pajanosas and Torre de la Reina.

     My idea is to make a set of twenty or twenty-two paintings with the purpose of exhibiting them in a municipal building and obtaining some money for the benefit of the neediest families.

     The paintings will be tried to sell as cheaply as possible and that the residents of these three towns themselves are the ones who buy those works that represent some of the corners that have caught my attention and that are not exactly the most touristy or well-known.

     Fran, you already know me and you know that since I started painting I have always been interested in places or situations that artistically would go unnoticed. To paint something that in itself is beautiful and continually photographed, I already have my nikon. The challenge that seduces me is to make an abandoned lot, an old door or a wall about to collapse appear on the canvas with such beauty that they can be worthy of admiration.

     I will keep you updated.

     Y. a.
