Cruz de Baixar
A striking watercolour painting of the Cruz de Baixar depicts its shadowy silhouette against the vivid hues of dusk. Deep purples and blues blend into fiery oranges and pinks, creating a dramatic contrast between the darkened cross and the luminous sky. The fluidity of the watercolour medium captures the fading light, evoking a sense of tranquillity and reflection at this sacred waypoint on the Camino de Santiago.
Bota del Peregrino
This watercolour painting of the Bota del Peregrino captures the worn bronze boot resting on the rugged cliffs of Finisterre. Soft washes of earthy browns and deep patinas bring out the weathered texture of the sculpture. The ocean stretches beyond in a blend of blues and purples, merging with the sky in a hazy, dreamlike horizon. The painting evokes a sense of journey’s end, reflection, and the timeless spirit of pilgrimage.
Camino Maltés
A watercolour painting of Mdina, the starting point of the Camino Maltés, captures the ancient city’s golden limestone bathed in soft morning light. In the distance, the Maltese sky stretches in delicate hues, symbolizing both the past and the pilgrimage ahead. The painting evokes a sense of history, spirituality, and quiet anticipation at the start of this sacred route.
La Vieira
A charcoal drawing of a pilgrim shell placed on a pebble highlights the contrast between the shell’s delicate ridges and the smooth, solid surface of the stone. Fine shading brings out the shell’s natural curves, while the Cruz de Santiago is subtly etched at its center, symbolizing the Camino pilgrimage. Light and shadow play across both elements, evoking a sense of stillness, reflection, and the timeless journey of the pilgrim.
