A Pena da Moura

Throughout history there were many weights, both physical and metaphorical, that Galician women carried on their shoulders. Baskets of fish, dairies, bunches of grass, shopping bags, merchandise from the fair, or the great weight of life on its shores. The Nömada mural is a tribute to the matriarchy, specifically Galician women, and is inspired by the local legend of Pedra Moura. The female figure of the mural is the representation of this legend, which explains the origin of the dolme of Aldemunde. The story tells that the Moura of the legend had a stone in her head while she was knitting, when she was already very tired she left it on the ground, and the stone grew. The protagonist of this work also appears knitting, making a tapestry that represents Galician women who used to carry a basket on their heads, transporting the merchandise of the commercial activities of those times. On the wall you can see a total of six women, each of them carrying different products, emphasizing the different trades of the time and highlighting the vital importance of the figure of women in the development of our past and current society. 
The pictorial style of the artist, a native of Almería but resident in Santiago de Compostela, is complex and dense, since it is full of symbolisms and visual metaphors that contain deep reflections on contemporary society and the human condition.
