DESPEGUE BLACK Drawing

The drawing was created at a time when we were returning to Spain, in 2017, after the crisis, and after having lived 4 years in Chile. My desire to set up an architectural services company was strong and vigorous. And I had recently bought an office to set up the workshop. Everything was investment, optimism and illusion for a future, for a new dawn. After many years of odd jobs, haunted by the ghosts of unemployment, it seemed that an era of economic stability had returned, the spirit was refreshing. It seemed, at least to me, like the beginning of a new era of prosperity. It was a taking off, a getting off the ground. I travelled to Portugal every week. For work reasons, I would fly to Porto during the day. In the mornings and afternoons, I literally experienced taking off. Defeating gravity was a triumph every time the plane took off. It was the victory of power and the will to undertake. Breaking the barrier of the comfort zone that keeps us stuck to the ground. To soar to seek a new reality, a new tomorrow. It was not only the turbines, it was also lunging to enter a phase of leaping into the void, it was a combination of pure animal leg. Quadrupedal gallop of the horse, bipedal run of the ostrich. And finally, the power was accompanied by the best human muscle. The main engine and propulsion source of the aircraft is generated by an intestine installed in the fuselage, like a snake's. The digestive system releases powerful gases that are expelled by wind instruments, trumpets and horns.

The shark's fins on the plane represent the predatory character of the one who decides to undertake an ambitious flight. The wings become part of the fins. A hybrid, multi-purpose craft that can "navigate" in air and "water".
