Maison du Jouir (2021)Acrylic painting by Alejos

Maison du Jouir (pop art, landscape)

This painting has painted edges (3d canvas), so there´s no need to frame it.

Since childhood, about 5-6 years old, I have always felt the strange need to draw and paint. Drawing shapes with one simple pencil and then fill them with colors attracted me like a magnet, like that magical music that you don't want to stop to listening to.
At the beginning it was a mixture of different feelings, some good and others as a way of escape and to ward off my ills. I know now art is a kind of therapy too.
With the passage of time I have been understanding, as mother nature was becoming the main protagonist of my work, that there is nothing better than transmitting the love I feel for this nature (reflected in my family and in music too) that helps me so much. That is why I think that my painting is an attempt to explain this love that I feel for them, which is no different than love for life, for all living beings. And I think I'm getting it through the game of simple shapes and vivid colors.
What you see it isn´t a “real” nature, it´s what I call a “Dreamed landscape”, that is not an exact copy of a specific place or a photograph, but it is more the feeling that nature transmits me, in a symbolic way.
In the artwork you can see the house where Gauguin lived in the islands, searching for a primitive way of live that he can find in his way.
