One of Oporto’s high slopes, close to where I live. “Why are you painting this lousy street?” , said the old lady at the window.

1218 / Piazza Sedili del Campo / Salerno / Italy
This Square is the center of the night life in Salero, changing completely at the evening, when a crowd of young people invades it.
Is headed by a famous fountain attributed to the renowned architect Luigi Vanvitelli.
1199 / Plaza del Tossal / El Carmen // Valencia
This square is one of the hottests spots in the Valencian night life!
1196 / Finca Roja / Valencia // Spain
This building from 1933 has a clear influence from the Dutch expressionism, so it is a little strange to see it in integrated in a Valencia street. Anyway it is a remarkable building and I was hoping to draw it for a long time! It is an hard one, though: I took 1h15 to finish the drawing.
1187 / Guadalaviar School / Valencia // Spain
Guadalaviar School (1957-60) is one my favorite buildings in Valencia. I love the composition of the exterior volumes, but I would like to stress the remarkable atmosphere created by the inner garden. Architect: Fernando Martínez García-Ordoñez
A Escola Guadalaviar (1957-1960) é um dos meus edifícios favoritos em Valencia, Espanha. A composição dos volumes exteriores é muito interessante, mas o que realmente me fascina é extraordinária atmosfera criada pelo jardim interior, difícil de visitar já que é um colégio privado religioso. Arquitecto: Fernando Martínez García-Ordoñez
1183 / The crane at the Architect’s Association Building / Valencia // Spain
Yesterday, a Yellow crane was being used to clean the facade of the Architect’s Association Building (CTAV), at Calle Hernán Cortes.
I had to register that ephemeral moment, where that yellow and red forms were being composed against the glass facade.
There was a hard light to embody, though. The sky was grey and there were no contrasting shadows nor clear highlights…
