2.Describe the work
In this piece of art, the artist drew a human tower, a Catalan tradition activity. In this case we can see the Castellers de Vilafranca, the local colla castellera: that it was founded in 1948. They are next to a window of a building. Inside the building there is a little girl seeing the pillar. We can see outside it is fully dark. -
3.Analysis
In this piece of street art we can see this small building with a colour range of 3 greens one is darker than the others and is situated in the window frame, this is the one that stands out the most. The girl inside this window, camouflages because of her clear skin, with the wall that is practically the same colour. Her hair matches with the black sky and her t-shirt, which has the print of Festa Major, matches with the little ladybird that is climbing the wall and with the helmet of the girl on the top of the pillar. We can also see the Castellers flag that harmonize perfectly with the inside part of the window and with the green t-shirts of the Castellers. -
4.Explore the serial issues tackled by the work
This painting represents several feelings: one can be the happiness; the girl is happy to see the Castellers from her window. She is also happy because it probably is Festa Major, she wears a t-shirt from la Festa Major. Another one is being proud to belong to a club like the Castellers, we can say this as the girl has a Castellers flag hanging from the balcony. Finally, teamwork can also be found in this painting: Castellers have to work together as a team in order to do a pillar.
