Llegendes de Girona
Deaf, Blind, and Mute Self-Portrait
This is Quim Hereu’s self-portrait, where he depicts himself as blind, deaf, and mute.
The work is painted in oil on linen canvas, although its technique resembles watercolor. The Medes Islands appear—an iconic landmark of the Empordà region that plays a key role both in his artistic journey and his personal life. It is in this region that he sets
The Strambotic Birth of Venus, one of the paintings that make up the Visual Manifesto of Estrambotism.
This painting is part of the book Legends of Girona, where Quim Hereu illustrates the legends of his hometown, reinterpreting them through his distinctive visual language.
