Description
Senses Valencia 01 is a location-based artwork paying homage to the tastes of Valencia through the pairing TASTE&SAVOUR. Using the net from an orange bag, the colours and heraldry of the Valencian flag, and the sensory abundance of the Comunidad Valenciana.
The text is rendered through masking out the letters emerging from the surface as softer, diffuse shapes rather than hard edges, as if the words are dissolving and emerging rather than being declared.
White filigree motifs drawn from Valencian heraldry are stenciled across the edges with light overspray, bleeding into the layers beneath rather than sitting above them, weaving civic identity into the fabric of the composition rather than framing it from outside.
The red and yellow are overlaid with the orange net while spraying the paint creating a wave like structure referenceing the Senyera, the flag of Valencia, while the blue field to the left carries the cool distance and waves of the Mediterranean.
The pairing holds more than appetite. To taste is immediate and instinctive. To savour is slower, interior, tinged with the awareness that the moment is passing. In Valencia, where paella, seafood and oranges carry both abundance and deep local memory, savouring becomes something close to longing.
Created in Calp, Comunidad Valenciana, Spain, June 2026.
