With the eyes of ...
Lanzarote is an absolutely unique space. In my view, its geography and its landscape is what most makes recognizable the personality and identity of this island.
Within the multitude of landscapes that exist in a space so small as this island is, you can indeed find various kinds of emotions, all very strong, all very pure, and all of them take us in some way to a primitive world, a natural world, where the solitude and austerity of the landscape is the most significant thing.
What makes me particularly excited and attracts me in a very special way is the volcanic tube of the Cueva de los Verdes. The fantastic isolation that produces its visit and to feel inside a geology so pure, so natural, so characteristic of these volcanic tubes, but so difficult to find elsewhere in the world. It is one of the places that attracts me the most.
Under another point of view, not only the landscape's but the human view, La Geria is like the greatest spot where Lanzarote is perhaps more personalized.
If there is a landscape that identifies fully and exclusively with the island I believe is the Geria, due to its way of agriculture, for the blackness of its landscape, the beauty of the profiles of its mountains, and the work of man so hard there, so represented, and that means so much to the island.
And of course we should not evade or dismiss, and especially myself, that have specifically worked as a painter with a topic that is almost exclusively the volcanism of the island, and its natural park Timanfaya. Especially in this volcanic world what attracted me most were the areas of volcanic ash and its dunes.
