Painted from the terrace of a rented apartment in the tiny village of El Golco. In Andalucia, Southern Spain. / The Moorish architecture, with characteristic domes and ‘godfather’ chimneys. This was my first attempt at ‘en plein air’ painting. / The second of two paintings, I did in El golco. (As I further appraised this, after uploading today, it seems more abstract. Although I didn’t intend that, at the time!) June 2007. / Watercolour, 11” x 8” on rough paper.

This is my vision of The House of Bernarda Alba (La Casa de Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca. / For those that are not very familiar with this artist and/or this play, here´s a brief. Federico García Lorca was a Spanish poet and dramatist , also known by his skills in many other arts. He is considered the poet of greater influence and popularity of the Spanish Literature of the XXth century. He died executed by Nationalist partisans at the age of 38 at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, due to his affinity to the Popular Front _and for being openly homosexual. / He´s not only Spain’s most universal poet, but he is also a universally recognised symbol of Spain – and especially Andalucia – itself. His poems paint a vivid and intrinsically poetic portrait of this fascinating region, with its stark landscapes, its moonlit nights, its bullfighters and, above all, its gypsies with their free-roaming ways and fierce codes of living and loving. / Lorca was also a man of the theatre and roamed Spain in a truck with a troupe of actors called “La Barraca”, staging farces and tragedies in village squares of Andalucia. He created many enemies with his trilogy of plays dwelling on the plight of women in Andalucía’s villages – “Blood Wedding”, “Barren (Yerma)” and “The House of Bernarda Alba” . / “The House of Bernarda Alba” was Lorca’s last play; it was written in 1936, several months before his execution. The play centers on the events of an Andalusian house during a period of mourning, in which the title character (age 60) wields total control over her five daughters Angustias (39 years old), Magdalena (30), Amelia (27), Martirio, (24), and Adela (20). / The play explores themes of repression, passion, and conformity, and inspects the effects of men upon women. Main figure is a cinema4D render; then I blended some layers in order to… Well, just look carefully, try view larger.

Angustias is the eldest and sickliest daughter of Bernarda Alba. She inherited a fortune from her father, Bernarda’s first husband, making her the richest of the daughters. Her stepfather’s fortune is split between the daughters. Angustias becomes engaged to Pepe el Romano, who is interested not in her, but in her money. Aware that he is interested only in her money, she continues, desperate to marry and be free of her oppressive mother. She still doesnt know _ actually, no one knows _ that Pepe, el Romano is having a secret affair with her sister Adela, the youngest and prettiest daughter of Bernarda.

Magdalena and Amelia – The less significant daughters. They are submissive both domestically and sexually, and, though unhappy under their mother’s control, they willingly comply to her wishes. / Why the horse? As with many of Lorca´s poems (and also in “Blood Wedding”), the horse appears as a male sexuality symbol. Throughout the play you can hear several references to a breeding stallion (owned by the family), which is kicking against the walls of the stable, as an obvious parallel with Pepe el Romano_ the omnipresent male character of the play. / I think it´s obvious that I changed the “real” horse for a rusted one and also the stable into another different place, trying to add more symbolism to the image. / Why the image of Franco, the Spanish dictator? / Because it is not possible to interpret Lorca by avoiding his strong social commitment with the stormy Spain of the 30s. Bernarda’s cruel tyranny over her daughters foreshadows the stifling nature of Franco’s fascist regime, which was to arrive just a few weeks after Lorca finished writing this play. (Here, his portrait doesn´t correspond with the same time of the play). Main scene is an original cinema4D render; background skies and foreground dark branches were added during postwork. f you wish to read this play in English, click here: / House Of Bernarda Alba Here are the previous images for this series; if you want to know more about the play that inspired these works, please, follow the links. / / 1) House Of Bernarda Alba / / 2) Martirio / / 3) Angustias

Grosso modo, the story continues this way: / Quietly, one day the daughters are sitting embroidering , until Angustias rushes furiously back into the room. Someone has taken her picture of Pepe from under her pillow. Bernarda, hearing the commotion, enters and demands to be told which sister is the thief. Strangely, it is Martirio who has hidden it in her bed, a joke on her sister, she says. Adela is enraged with jealousy and even tells Angustias that Pepe only wants her for her money. Bernarda, after attempting to hit Martirio, screeches at them to stop and orders them away. She is obeyed as usual. / Later, Poncia, the maid, tries to warn Bernarda that Pepe is the cause of all the troubles in the house and must be married quickly. Bernarda refuses to accept this. Poncia tells her he is really Adela’s sweetheart and asks that they marry. Again Bernarda dismisses her suggestion. Angustias returns and in talking, the three realize that Pepe has been leaving Angustias at one, but not leaving the house till four in the morning. It is Adela he is with, as only Poncia knows. / Only three days remain till Angustias and Pepe are to marry. She expresses her worry to Bernarda that he seems distracted. Her mother advises her to ask him nothing and say less, and to never let him see her cry. Angustias is unhappy but cannot fathom why. Later, the women have a quiet evening, quite peaceful and Pepe is not expected _ he´s supposed to be away on a trip. But, as people begin to settle for the night, Adela slips out to the corral (stable) in order to meet Pepe again. Main scene is an original cinema4D render; just blended a bit of a wall layer in postwork. f you wish to read this play in English, click here: / House Of Bernarda Alba Here are the previous images for this series; if you want to know more about the play that inspired these works, please, follow the links. / / 1) House Of Bernarda Alba / / 2) Martirio / / 3) Angustias / / 4) Magdalena y Amelia

Adela, the youngest daughter, went to the stable in order to meet Pepe again. / But Martirio has seen her and calls her mother to witness. Pepe is waiting with his horse to run away with Adela. Bernarda calls for the gun and rushes to try to shoot him, but he manages to escape. / Martirio suggests that he is now dead, and Adela locks herself in her room. Bernarda thinks this is all for the best. / But then a sound is heard; Bernarda, Martirio and the maid break down the door. Adela has killed herself. Bernarda’s order on the matter, as the final curtain comes down, is that it is to be made known that the youngest daughter of Bernarda Alba died a virgin. Wel, this should be the last image from this series dedicated to Lorca´s “House Of Bernarda Alba”. Most probably I´d still upload 2 or 3 more images related to this play, but later, some other time; now, I have to move on. I want to thank to all those that accompanied me throughout the creation process of this series with comments, suggestions and constructive critics. This is an original cinema4D render; just did a bit of postproduction in order to separate color tones.
