This expressive drawing shows two people on a terrace in Banyoles, a town in the heart of Catalunya, Spain. The work is composed of felt pen, coloured pencil and crayon, with energetic, sketchy lines that give the scene an immediate and vivid character.
Bright blues, warm oranges and vibrant yellows create a warm, Mediterranean atmosphere. The people are rendered with loose outlines and intuitive areas of colour, keeping the scene simultaneously recognisable and playfully abstract. Above them on the premises is the text "CADA44".
