Montesin

Taking inspiration from Asturian literature, Foni Ardao gives us a scene from ‘Montesin’ by Maria Josefa Canellada. The book tells the story of Montesin, a lost goat and the children who find and look after him. In the mural we can see the goat in the arms of the girl whilst the boy plays the guitar. Surrounded by nature and heated by a fire it conveys a mural full of peace and sweetness. Foni added to his mural a tribute to his mother, Margarita, who died a year prior. It is represented by the flower bearing her name in the girl’s hair.
