About the artwork

**Monday Laundry Day in Girona** is a digital artwork that captures the hushed beauty of a summer afternoon in a Spanish town. The sky is clear blue, without a cloud in the sky - a colour reflected in the calm water in the foreground. The scene shows a row of stylised Spanish houses, with warm earth tones and ochre yellow walls, typical roof tiles and simple lines reminiscent of modern illustrations with a touch of cubism.

The sun casts sharp shadows on the facades, creating a play of light and dark. Some houses are completely bathed in sunlight, while others are partly in cool shadow, giving depth and rhythm to the image. Laundry flutters everywhere: white sheets, brightly coloured shirts, floral dresses - they hang over lines between the houses or flutter from balcony to balcony. Each garment tells a small, everyday story, and together they give the work a sense of human presence, with no people in sight.

The water in the foreground is mirror-smooth and reflects the row of houses and the clear sky, making the image appear double - a visual echo of calm. At the very end of the row of houses, a small strip of green emerges: a few bushes or an incipient tree top, barely present, but just enough to draw the eye and offer a subtle contrast to the otherwise barren cityscape.

This work exudes simplicity, warmth and rhythm - a summery ode to the everyday poetry of laundry day.
