This picture shows one of the iconic bridges of the Plaza de España in Seville, a place where architecture, art and history merge. The bridges, richly decorated with colourful ceramic tiles (azulejos), connect the malls to the central square and are a beloved symbol of Andalusian culture. In this sculpture, I tried to bring together the details of the ceramics as well as the reflection in the canal, so that the ornamental character of the bridge can be fully appreciated.
What fascinates me as a photographer is how this place constantly changes with the light. In the early morning, as here, the warm brick of the square shines softly against the cool tones of the water. The tiles on the bridge light up, as if they were specially designed to move with the sun. It is precisely this play of colour and reflection that made me want to add something extra: not just another travel photo, but an image that captures the serene and almost picturesque atmosphere you feel when standing here.
For lovers of Spain, Seville, Moorish architecture and city breaks, this work is an eye-catcher that makes the grandeur of the Plaza de España tangible. An ode to a city bursting with character, captured in a moment of peace and harmony.
