Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking part in the 2nd Edition of the \u201cCalles en Flor\u201d 2025 Quick Painting Contest<\/strong>, held in Ca\u00f1ete de las Torres (C\u00f3rdoba), where I received an Honourable Mention<\/strong> for my work \u201cAzul Marino\u201d, a 100\u00d7100 cm oil painting inspired by the town\u2019s castle.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was an intense day of open-air painting, where lights and the surroundings shaped my creative process. Quick painting sessions always lead me to discover unexpected, lively and spontaneous brushstrokes. And that direct connection with the space, and the challenge of creating the painting in just a few hours, is an artistic experience that enriches me every time and pushes me to keep exploring colours and shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To relate to the festival\u2019s floral universe, I chose to use a deep and vibrant blue<\/strong>, as the marine theme selected for \u201cCalles en Flor\u201d 2025. It is, in fact, a unique blue, created from a mix of pigments I personally purchased in Morocco, in Chefchaouen \u2014 the Blue City \u2014 and it is the very same blue of the Huerto Franc\u00e9s<\/strong> traditional flower pots, a characteristic corner of Ca\u00f1ete de las Torres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news has been covered by local newspapers such as El Debate<\/a><\/strong> and Cord\u00f3polis<\/a><\/strong>, which delights and encourages me to keep sharing my art with more people. I'm grateful to the Ca\u00f1ete de las Torres Town hall<\/strong> and the Fundaci\u00f3n Caja Rural<\/strong> for making this live painting competition possible and for supporting artistic creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'll show you the masterpiece I created in such little time:<\/p>\n\n\n
