Narrative
My grandmother Carlota was from Alcaudete, a medievaltown in the mountains of Jaén.
From her I inherited a medal with the Aries symbol that has served as a precedent for me to want to investigate some of the stories and myths of her hom eland. In this way I pay tribute to my grandmother and to those Andalusians that had to emigrate and leave behind a territory full of legends and mysticism. I used different techniques to create the pieces because legends can be transmitted in many different ways.
