The Magazine #4 shows an associative representation of the making of the Aracena Atlas during a residency at Arteventura, March 2026.

During this residency I’ve had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the surroundings of Aracena, Andalusia, Spain. It allowed me to develop a personal and poetic colour dictionary—an atlas shaped around three central themes: earth, nature, and sky.

For some time now, I have been exploring how a colour dictionary can become rooted in a specific place. This project is closely linked to my own way of observing and collecting: a slow, attentive process in which colour, light and time converge. It raises questions about how we experience landscapes within a technology-driven society, in which images are constantly being captured and shared. At the same time, I seek ways to make the essence of a landscape tangible – an essence that cannot be immediately captured, but emerges in the space between the real and the abstract, the analogue and the digital.
