"Recuerdos" (size 8)
was the first painting of the Murtra Monastery period, it is called "Recuerdos" (Memories), it was impressive, it came out of the canvans by itself. Amazing.
The painting depicts the feelings of many immigrants that cross the Gibraltar Straits from Africa in small boats called "pateras," they cross illegaly the sea by night, and risk their lives in many ways. Some of them die other are caught by police patrols.. the once who survive have to face a total new life full of challenges...
You can see him remembering his experiences in the background "patera"...
