Castellers Painting

The idea is joint with Carles Redon, who inspired me in Catalan culture to develop a series of pop-style paintings, but with templates. Unlike Warhol's technique that made his paintings with silkscreen, our paintings are completely handmade. First we take the photos to project them on a cardboard, then we cut out each layer giving rise to the templates themselves. We paint the paintings with stencils with colored sprays, this way we can differentiate the techniques although they may seem the same. History The castles are the human towers that have been built for more than two hundred years (there are references to them as early as the 18th century) in the Camp de Tarragona and the Penedès, as a result of the expansion of the Valencian Muixeranga. From the 80s of the 20th century, the castles gradually spread throughout Catalonia (including Northern Catalonia) and the Balearic Islands. They are a very powerful symbol of Catalan identity and culture. Since November 16, 2010, the castles have been Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The almost hundred gangs currently in existence are made up of several people with the aim of building castles of varying complexity. The most common constructions have the basic structures of 1 (pillar), two (tower), three, four and five, although constructions of up to 10 castellers on each floor have already been made. In terms of height, a very small number of gangs have managed to build ten-storey castles (according to the way of counting the floors coming from the origins - Ball dels Valencians - when the two members that culminate the castle are they put full rights). Aside from the physical and technical preparation or the enormous social support of the casteller phenomenon, the element that is considered the most determining factor in this spectacular evolution has been the incorporation of women in a popular and festive event reserved, until three decades ago , exclusively for men.
