Original artwork description
The work recreates an imaginary landscape with superimposed elements and out of context.
It is inspired by the habitat in which the Neolithic populations of 8000 years ago could develop in the province of Alicante.
It is a landscape where the sea and the mountains mix. Fruits, seeds, plants, animals, marine beings... build everything that was important for these first Neolithic people from Alicante who made formidable paintings in natural sanctuaries such as Pla de Petracos.
Macroschematic art is only found in the northern area of the province of Alicante, it was created by the first Neolithic groups that arrived in these lands in the middle of the 6th millennium BC, coming from the Near East. Through the Mediterranean, these groups sailed in canoes, always close to the coast, carrying with them wheat and barley seeds, sheep and goats.
The chosen places are rock shelters, well visible and illuminated by the sun. These areas were not habitats but "sanctuaries" to which the surrounding populations went for religious celebrations, rites of passage, alliances...
