I owe part of my growth in Denmark to observing nature, the strength of its roots and its fruits. Several years ago I had the pleasure of taking a career in industrial design, and although this resulted in the formal decision to continue with the fine arts and particularly within the painting itinerary, I have not stopped thinking about the ways that the environment gives us to make them ours in our day by day. The Poul Henningsen's PH lamp design (1924), is one of those representations from the observation, but above all, from an idea: to illuminate without dazzling (like the Danish light, I believe). My interest in cross-cultural design but also in the belonging, helped by the hours in the sketchbook, brought me the idea of representing the PH together with that icon from my birthplace. So I wanted both “species” (the industrial and the natural) to talk about multiculturalism. Apart from the final canvas, @beautonart has made various editions from this work. since 2020 and for those who are interested in acquiring a copy. “Henningsens Træ” 54 × 65 Cm 21.26 × 25.59 In Chalk - Oil on Canvas Giclee-Print 2020 29.7 × 42 Cm 11.69 × 16.54 In Ink on paper @rafadesoja @beautonart #crosscultural #phlampe #palm #palmtrees #danishdesign #poulhenningsen #belonging #samtidskunst #limitededition #nordisk #tropical #danishdesign #stabilo #dibujo #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #drawingsketch #multicultural #multiculturalart #danmark https://www.instagram.com/p/CftP1BWDPMA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

L'última vegada que vaig parlar amb el Pep I era un parell d'avions sobre el cel del Parxís. Van deixar un rastre, un al costat de l'altre, potser més amunt o potser més lluny. Em va cridar molt aquest missatge visual al voltant de la seva persona, com professor, com amic. Ara, passats uns mesos, no hi havia fet un record, d'algú que a belles arts, es va interessar per la meva interpretació al voltant del que em va moure i preocupar-se perque estigui exposada al "seu" lloc. Pel teu temps q em vas dedicar, t'estic agraït, Pep. Mai vaig pensar que aquella tarda dels avions va ser l'última conversa sobre la vida de l'artista. Aquí va un petit homenatge per a tu, des de la memòria I des del camí, ara enlairat, després de quinze anys junts a #bellesartsub #universitatdebarcelona // #barcelona #ub #parxís #chemtrails #elceldebarcelona #petitformat // #olisobretela 21x15cm @rafadesoja #oiloncanvas #pepmontoya #2020 #memoria #socpintor #bcn (en København, Danmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGgRjk4Dfy2/?igshid=1jdsbz51rnuvi
