DESPEGUE 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.
