Acanthus and Butterfly

10 x 14 inches

Watercolor
In the central courtyard of the "Casa de las Palomas", a patrimonial jewel of Cuenca, the elegant acanthus plants bloom. Each time I cross its threshold, I am enveloped by the serenity of its interior and the delicacy of the murals of women and doves. Its decoration, inspired by European Romanticism, intertwines with the stones and the vegetation, creating an authentic atmosphere that evokes Cuenca of bygone days. In this scene, it is the acanthus of its garden that takes on the role of protagonist and inspiring muse.
