On Monday of this week, José and I went to visit the
flamboyant maestro, Andrés Monreal, at his home and
studio which is a primeval finca that is buried in the woods
and the countryside of San Mateo.
Andrés Monreal is an extraordinary
artist and a man who on the initial meeting gives a glare
and a stare that goes all the way through you like a gilt-edged
sabre cutting butter.
José did most of the talking whilst
I made myself busy by taking some pictures of this character,
his environment and the soundings that he lives and works
in to create his bizarre paintings that are always in demand.
