Carmalia, invisible city Print

Constant in my work is the appearance of a horizon. Realizing this, I try to assign each horizon its invisible city. Literary work by Italo Calvino, ¨The invisible cities¨ are fantastic, unreal, vague, impossible, indeterminate, beautiful, lyrical ... Thanks to Italo Calvino and my dear master Jaime Buhigas who show me it. After reading this wonderful book, my great friend and painter Amalia Rubí wrote about an imaginary city formed by her name and mine, called ¨Carmalia¨. She gave me a city! ¨Carmalia¨ It is in an undefined place. From afar it floods us with a great blaze of color. As thousands and thousands of silk cocoons approach us, they stimulate our senses. Operators dye these colors and later, they are grouped according to their tones. Huge blocks give off iridescence white, blue and orange in all their ranges. The traveler enters the city of Carmalia .... Discover that houses, monuments and schools are built with magical envelopes and shimmering pigments. In the highest place, butterflies pull the thread from the cones, weaving air balloons and huge scarves. I stayed and returned hundreds of times to that place. I flew over various places in multicolored balloons. Later I made fabrics of all colors to warm and clothe anyone who ever feels fear, cold or loneliness.
