The digital artwork "Casco Antiguo Altea" captures the sweltering calm of a Mediterranean summer day in a stylised, almost timeless composition. The sky is bright blue and cloudless, giving the image a sense of warmth and stillness. At the centre of the composition, a staircase with wide cement steps slowly descends between white-plastered houses, characteristic of the old town of Altea on Spain's Costa Blanca.
To the left, a white house rises with a striking wrought-iron lamp, protruding far from the façade and providing a graceful contrast against the building's clean lines. On the right, the image is softened by a carefully pruned row of bourgainville, whose vibrant purple flowers hang down below a large window. The harmony between these elements contributes to the stylised simplicity of the sculpture.
At the bottom of the stairs, the street scene ends in a quiet, cement road with a round cast-iron manhole cover in the middle. A young woman with long dark hair, dressed in a bright, summer dress, pushes a pram. The sun casts sharp shadows of her and the pram on the warm street surface. Behind her is another house, from which a small balcony closes the upper part of the image.
The composition, colouring and stylisation convey a nostalgic sense of Mediterranean simplicity - a moment of everyday life captured in sunlight and stillness.
