Art Walk Cómpeta starts at Easter – El “Paseo del Arte Cómpeta” empeza en Semana Santa.

Easter time is coming and with it the 11th edition of the Art Walk Cómpeta! A great event to which I am very much looking forward, as I am a member of the preparation team and an exhibiting artist. You will find me at the location 5. The Art Walk Cómpeta is the first to open a row of art events in Andalusia that I am taking part in or which I like very much. The Art Walk is more than an Art Walk, its truly a Festival of Art, organized since 6 years by the artist Lieuwke Loth who also runs the Galeria Luz de la Vida in Cómpeta. This wonderful event is organized completely by volunteers without any funding! Get more information about the Art Walk here:

The Art Walk is coming soon! Get some information here. Don’t miss this great event at 20/21 and 23/24 of April.
¡Art Walk Cómpeta llegará pronto! Obtener información aquí. ¡No te pierdas Art Walk 2019! Es 20/21 y 23/24 de abril.

Don’t miss the great Art Walk event with more than 35 artists from 9 nations, with art workshops and live music everyday! Enjoy the excursion to the charming village of Cómpeta with its vibrant artistic atmosphere! Stroll through the numerous art exhibitions, participate in an art workshop and enjoy our exquisite live music program as well! Its worth staying some days in this beautiful mountain village and explore the art and the village and the nature with its great offers!

Sneak pre-view to my exhibition this year! ¡Un adelanto de mi exposición este año!

I am bringing a bigger collection of paintings – I think 80% of them are new. You will see bigger formats as well as very small ones. But be sure, all will be full of vibrant colours.

Again I will share the location with a photographer, this time with Mariska Luth from the Netherlands. See more of her work here: Made by Luth. Opposite of studio 5 you will find at venue 6 the German abstract painter Michael Schumann, who offers a great collection of square paintings.

On our way to our place, you can make a little excursion to a wonderful sculptor garden, in the middle of the white village (Location 8) ! Definitely worth a visit! Dragons and more are waiting for you!!!  And 38 artists, art workshops, music, a Theater group roaming through the streets, a beautiful village with lots of wonderful bars and restaurants, great views and a real artistic and vibrant atmosphere. I am sure, you will enjoy!

You will also meet members of the Costa del Arte Collective, four of them are exhibiting! Great art to be seen!

Why Blue-porque Azul-warum Blau?

by artgerritoppellandhampelin ART in General1 Comment on Why Blue-porque Azul-warum Blau?

One day I was working on a painting and wondering, why I was using so much blue colours. My painting style is very intuitive, so it just “happened”, nothing in my mind. I called the painting “Why blue?”. A painted question. Lately I painted some small paintings (20×20 cm), for the summer exhibition in father Galeria Luz de la Vida in Cómpeta, again following my intuition, just with a headline in my mind. I wanted to play around, experiment and have fun. This was my intention in the series “color plates”. What happen was a lot of turquoise and blue. I tried red- very difficult. I tried yellow- no way.

Why blue? 73×60 cm

I choose a photo that attracted me, Cactus with a lot of  of blue. So the answer is a very simple one: in this hot summer with the sea in front of me and the ever so huge blue sky over me, there is no choice but blue.

Vor einiger Zeit arbeitete ich an einem Bild, verwundert darüber, warum es so blau wurde. Blau ist eigentlich nicht ” meine Farbe”. Da ich beim Malen sehr intuitiv vorgehe, “passierte” es einfach so, ohne Plan. Ich nannte das Bild:  ” Warum blau?”, eine gemalte Frage. Kürzlich machte ich mich an eine Reihe kleiner Formate (20×20 cm) für die Sommerausstellung der Galeria Luz de laVida in Cómpeta. Ich hatte keinen Plan, aber Lust zu experimentieren und meinen spontanen Eingebungen zu folgen. Farbtafeln wollte ich machen. Es entstanden kleine Bilder mit viel Blau und Türkis . Ich versuchte es mit Rot: sehr schwierig. Gelb: das ging gar nicht. Ich suchte mir ein Foto heraus, das mich ansprach und endete bei  Kakteen vor viel blauem Himme. Offensichtlich ist die Antwort doch ganz einfach: in diesem heißen Sommertagen mit dem Meer vor Augen und dem weiten blauen Himmel über mir, gibts keine andere Wahl.
