Picture worked from free improvisation. Action painting with music by John Frusciante.

Large-sized work developed through multiple layers, first very watered down and later more defined. A gestural and material painting is developed with a great complexity of stains and marks that are finally simplified until reaching the final result.

The creative process of this work lasted several weeks, building a universe that somehow reminds us of American Indian culture. Its rituals, its respect and connection with Nature, its symbols and the transformation process that we undergo throughout life.

Little by little, the work gained its character and meaning in a very similar way to the process suffered by the character played by Richard Harris in the movie "A Man Called Horse".
