This (almost finishing) 2023 has been the Year Francisco Sorolla.
Several exhibitions on the Master Painter were healed around Spain and most especially in its beloved city, Valencia.
Valencia is a city that I personally love to visit from time to time. Of course this was a special occasion not to be lost! We are used to admire the colours of the Spanish painter, the light, the sun, the brightness… but we are not used to get the opportunity to se a “dark Sorolla”. A more mono chrome version of the master painter.

Few days ago I had the chance to visit and meet an old color master. Maybe the last Handmade Oil Paint color artisan in Spain. Since it came to my ears that there was still an artisan manufacturer of oils in Spain, I had no doubt that I wanted to meet him!
