Portrait
and caricature are essentially "pure communication". Paper and
pigments are worthless without the message being transmitted through them.
Thus, drawing someone is like "talk to someone" and this
"someone" choose an artist or another depending on the type of
message or quality which it offers him.
A portrait,
according to the dictionary definition, is the representation of a person
through drawing or painting. However, at Las Ramblas of Barcelona free
expression still were prohibited, so that portraitist style had to fit the
concept of portrait than a city police corporal could understand. So, for the
fifth consecutive year, this summer I was forbidden to "talk"
spontaneously with humor on my job either in order to drawing attention of people or have fun with my drawings. This coercion recent months caused me so much
anxiety that I had fallen ill.
For this
reason I was forced to relocate my job to a small village on the Catalan coast.
There, while awaiting the arrival of the high season, I was drawing new samples
in absolute freedom in the hope of recovering the fullness of my faculties.
