I am always happy to find art in small or large corners of the city, known or forgotten.
The streets of the city, as I always say, are not straight, but because of the ancient Muslim influence among other things, there is a zigzag of crosses and counter-crosses.
By now I'm used to it and I know the streets, I don't get lost, but I always find something I haven't seen before, as if at night the streets come to life and change, only to surprise me again and again.
Do I love this city? Yes, deeply, it has everything, nature in its most varied forms and art, lots of art, what more could you ask for.
On this occasion the art that I bring is very well known, I think that when there is any information about Malaga in various media, the eyes of this woman come up as a reference.
It is a beautiful mural in the Plaza de la Juderia. It would seem that only this beautiful woman inhabits the mural, but in reality there is much more.
It forms a kind of zigzag in its course and we can say that one end is in a little street so narrow that only one person can fit in it.
There we can see a perfect woman's hand, the hands and feet are very difficult to paint, that's why I emphasize that it is very well done, as well as the nails. There are also spheres with drawings inside and a lot of colour.
At the end of this little street there is a horse's face with wings. I love horses and I have painted many of them in oil because I am passionate about them.
I must also say that it is a very beautiful part of the mural, it is not easy to paint horses, especially because of the amount of muscles they have all over their bodies and the face is something very particular.
Inside the mural there is a small sign referring to the importance of one of the most important restaurants in the city, El Pimpi, and to flamenco.
The street makes the first bend and you can see another part of the mural, girls dancing in immense joy. I really liked the idea of a rainbow surrounding them, symbol of light and rain, making the perfect combination of colours.
Another part of the mural shows us this bouquet of flowers so characteristic of the Malaga festivities. The whole mural is like a seal of what the city represents.
Then begins in the same line a series of faces, among them the most famous of the city. Woman and flamenco united.
The colours stand out at every step and the well-defined details of the faces and the decorations are remarkable.
Those penetrating eyes as if looking at each person who passes by, but not only as a watcher but as if greeting. A mysterious and happy look at the same time, that's what I see.
Faces in general are also something difficult to paint because of their immense details, the distribution, the parameters and distances. Every detail counts when making a human figure.
Flowers, colours, shapes that simulate the dance so characteristic of this area. Beyond the tastes for this type of dance, I highlight the clothes and the joyful dance. Of course I love the colours.
Look at the detail of the woman's earring, as I say every detail counts to generate a spectacular art. And the fan is not far behind.
As we turn around in the zigzag of the mural we see a totally different art, already approaching the restaurant El Pimpi. And the street becomes narrow again.
The woman with the beautiful eyes is facing the square and in full view of everyone, but the rest is more hidden.
This new sector has more of an abstract art, combining figures, shapes and colours, something much more modern, which is also worth admiring. But I must say that of all the things I saw in the first part before arriving at this last one, I liked it the most.
At the end of the tour, the art is mixed with photography and also has an abstract but harmonious sense.
Walking through every corner of this great mural was spectacular, especially to dwell on the details of each of the things painted on it.
Those eyes will continue to captivate tourists touring the city for a long time to come.
Thank you very much for joining me today, I wish you a beautiful Sunday. Best regards.
