The paining Abandoned Fields is inspired by the beauty of the andalucian wilderness.

Some years ago many farmers in Andalucia left their land, which they had cultivated for ages and moved into the villages and cities, because they didn´t get enough money from the harvest.

Glass and rusty pieces ended in the dried out river beds, stonewalls collapsed down.

It´s a space where your mind can wonder and phantasize: How was it to live in these isolated places? Who was living and working here?

What I Saw In The Distance

What is it like to live in such a lonesome place

Surrounded only by the vivid elements of nature

I will pass without knowing

The Beauty lies in the distant appearance
