Strambotic Barcelona
The painting offers an eccentric and imaginary vision of the city of Barcelona.
The sea emerges from the Sagrada Família and expands until it floods Park Güell, defying spatial logic and evoking a city submerged in its own imagination.
The work is part of a series dedicated to a mosquito: The 10 Cities. A series of 10 paintings based on 10 cities around the world visited by a mosquito inside its corpinnat* bubble.
This fragile, flying creature acts as an external observer and reveals an unusual perspective of each place, filtered through the subjectivity of the mosquito’s neural system.
These ten cities were visited by Quim Hereu in real life.
*Corpinnat is a quality sparkling wine produced in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain. The name comes from the Catalan words “cor” (heart) and “pinnat” (from Penedès), meaning “the heart of Penedès.”
