The work recreates an imaginary landscape with superimposed elements and out of context.
It is inspired by the habitat in which the Neolithic populations of 8000 years ago could develop in the province of Alicante.

It is a landscape where the sea and the mountains mix. Fruits, seeds, plants, animals, marine beings... build everything that was important for these first Neolithic people from Alicante who made formidable paintings in natural sanctuaries such as Pla de Petracos.

Macroschematic art is only found in the northern area of the province of Alicante, it was created by the first Neolithic groups that arrived in these lands in the middle of the 6th millennium BC, coming from the Near East. Through the Mediterranean, these groups sailed in canoes, always close to the coast, carrying with them wheat and barley seeds, sheep and goats.

The chosen places are rock shelters, well visible and illuminated by the sun. These areas were not habitats but "sanctuaries" to which the surrounding populations went for religious celebrations, rites of passage, alliances...

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
