Línea de Horizonte
Carmen Laffón. Vista del Coto II. 2021. Gouache and charcoal on canvas. 110 x 200 cm
“Carmen Laffón dedicated much of her work to Doñana, viewed from her house in La Jara, on the edge of the old Corral de Merlín. Inspired by the simplicity of the horizon, the sky, and the land, she transformed that landscape into a laboratory of light and color. Her painting, minimalist and meditative, oscillates between panoramic grandeur and gestural restraint, exploring the nuances that the tides, the atmosphere, and the changing light imprint on the reserve.”

“Ultimately, the artist succeeds in turning the everyday landscape into an aesthetic experience, presenting a poetic and almost alchemical vision of Doñana, elevated in the horizon line she gazed at until the end of her life…”

“From the house near the mouth of the Guadalquivir, facing the beaches of Doñana and the Corral de Merlín, where she lived and painted. Lights and shades that unfold with the ebb and flow of the tide and to the rhythm of Ravel's Bolero."
