FLORENCE TAXI

  Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours 209th Exhibition, Mall Galleries, London 20-29th May 2021


This is Florence. The title is called "Florence Taxi". We went two years ago, my first visit. I was jumping for joy in the Uffizi and was bowled over by everything we saw. In the main square there was this taxi driver and two white horses. Each time we entered the center I would search him out taking photos, I knew I was going to paint him, I was just waiting to get the right angle. Their was something that trigged in my subconscious. It would take took long to explain, elegiac maybe. I did not plan the painting, it just took me over as in a dream. Dry brush wash and spray.

Esto es Florencia. El título se llama "Florence Taxi". Fuimos hace dos años, mi primera visita. Estaba saltando de alegría en el Uffizi y estaba boquiabierto por todo lo que vimos. En la plaza principal estaba este taxista y dos caballos blancos. Cada vez que entramos en el centro, lo buscaba tomando fotos, sabía que iba a pintarle, estaba esperando a obtener el ángulo correcto. Eran algo que desencadenó en mi subconsciente. Tardaría mucho en explicarlo, elegíaco tal vez. No planeé la pintura, simplemente me llevó como en un sueño. Cepillo seco, lavado y spray."
