This piece is part of a project called Campos de Castilla and it is the product of a long observation work through the windows of the trains that cross the country from north to south and from south to north. Compositions inspired by the most arid and monochromatic territories coexist together with areas where contrast is the predominant sign. The red wicker fields of the Alcarria, in the southern sub-plateau; endless landscapes, with no visible limit, stained by the ocher and sienas of the fields of Castilla y León (Spain).
