Carmen Baena Spain, b. 1967

"Viento del Sur" is a work from her "Colours of the Wind" series, where Carmen draws inspiration from the natural veils that mediate the landscape and the viewer. In this specific piece, the vibrant orange threads blend and overlap the blue, creating an immediate sense of warmth. The artwork beautifully captures a cherished childhood memory: "In the town where I was born, there are large plains between mountains where only the sound of the wind can be heard. When I was little, one of the things I remember I liked to do was run against the wind with my arms open." "Viento del Sur" captures that universal emotion of childhood freedom and happiness.
