The Village by the Water
from the series Inhabited Landscapes

The series Inhabited Landscapes explores the relationship between living beings and the landscape as an inseparable unit. People, animals, houses, villages and small settlements appear among mountains, forests, lakes and coastal environments, not as isolated elements, but as presences that are part of the territory and reveal different ways of inhabiting it. Each work builds an imagined place that evokes memory, refuge and belonging, inviting the viewer to walk through landscapes that exist more in experience and memory than in a specific place.

The compositions are structured through a succession of planes that guide the gaze through the landscape, establishing a continuous visual rhythm between the relief, the vegetation, the water and the various life forms. In some works, a building acts as a reference point; in others, it is the animals who traverse, cross, or stay in the territory, introducing movement, scale, and a silent narrative. Forms are simplified and connected through fluid lines that unify the space and generate a sense of balance among all its elements.

Color constitutes the main constructive resource of the series. Each plane has its own chromatic identity that interacts with the others to create depth, atmosphere and light. The coexistence of warm and cool tones transforms the landscape into a pictorial interpretation that transcends literal representation and turns the territory into a space for contemplation.

In Inhabited Landscapes, inhabiting does not simply mean to build or stay; it also means to roam, to traverse, and to be part of an environment. The presence of human, animal or architectural life integrates organically into nature, giving rise to timeless settings where territory and life participate in a single visual structure. Each work thus offers a reflection on landscape as a shared space of calm, memory and identity, built through the rhythm of forms, light and color.
