Para m\u00ed, la pintura permite plasmar una visi\u00f3n hol\u00edstica de este territorio con todos los elementos de la vida: econom\u00eda (agricultura, ganader\u00eda, hierro, carb\u00f3n vegetal, madera, comercio, turismo, balnearios), organizaci\u00f3n social (los comunes, las trashumancias, los molinos, los aserraderos, los transportes, los raiers), cultura (lengua, top\u00f3nimos, m\u00fasica, literatura), tradiciones (fallas, mercados, danzas, rituales), ocio (monta\u00f1ismo, esqu\u00ed), circulaciones (senderos, puertos, caminos de frontera), energ\u00eda (agua, como energ\u00eda mec\u00e1nica, electricidad) y arquitectura como testimonio del tiempo (estilos, tipos de construcci\u00f3n, mobiliario urbano).<\/p>\r\n
Pintar el Pirineo (y la nieve que se acaba) es enfrentarse a la complejidad, enfrentarse a la fragilidad que preceda al cambio y al mismo tiempo darse herramientas para reinventar el territorio y para imaginar el futuro.<\/span><\/p>","desc_en":" When we were little, our whole family would go to the Pyrenees for a good week, around Saint John\u2019s Day, to the Vall de Bo\u00ed: a tent, sleeping bags, and endless hikes. Those were the years 1966\u201369; there was hardly anyone there, and you still reached Ta\u00fcll by a cart track. Later, between the ages of 18 and 20, I did a lot of ski touring and, with the CEC, took part as a volunteer in organizing the Ralli CAI CAF (1976), outfitting the Renclusa hut and carrying out other tasks.<\/p>\r\n Now, as a visual artist, I have been working on mountain territory for more than 12 years\u2014first in the Alps and then in the Pyrenees. I don\u2019t paint the high mountains, but rather the inhabited mountain landscape, colonized by humans. What has interested me about the Pyrenees are the pastures and pastoralism, the passes, the routes used by refugees and by smugglers; also the mines and the forges (18th and 19th centuries), alpinism and mountain huts, and, finally, leisure and all snow sports. For the past four years, I have made one trip every year to the Pyrenees\u201410 days each time\u2014to draw and scout locations. And I\u2019ve done a great deal of reading, too. Obviously, the peaks provide an invaluable backdrop.<\/p>\r\n I\u2019ve been accompanied by Verdaguer, with his journey on foot from Canig\u00f3 to the Maladeta massif, and by Ramond de Carbonni\u00e8res, with his foundational book on the Pyrenees from almost 240 years ago. And many others.<\/p>\r\n For me, painting makes it possible to convey a holistic view of this territory with all the elements of life: economy (agriculture, livestock farming, iron, charcoal, timber, trade, tourism, spa towns), social organization (the commons, transhumance, mills, sawmills, transport, the timber rafters), culture (language, place names, music, literature), traditions (falles, markets, dances, rituals), leisure (mountaineering, skiing), movement and circulation (paths, passes, border routes), energy (water as mechanical power, electricity), and architecture as a witness to time (styles, types of construction, urban furniture).<\/p>\r\n To paint the Pyrenees (and the snow that is disappearing) is to confront complexity, to confront the fragility that comes before change, and at the same time to equip oneself with tools to reinvent the territory and to imagine the future.<\/p>","event_category":189,"event_show_only_own_date":true,"_event_confirmed":true,"_event_public":true,"_event_free":true,"_event_price-min":"","_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/salapares.com\/ca\/exposicion\/el-pirineu-paisatge-enlla-pintura-endins\/","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/salapares.com\/exposicion\/el-pirineu-paisatge-enlla-pintura-endins\/","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/salapares.com\/en\/exposicion\/el-pirineu-paisatge-enlla-pintura-endins\/","event_contact_email":"","event_apply_email":"","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Sala Par\u00e9s","abe_event_category":"Inauguraci\u00f3","start":"2026-04-16 19:00:00","end":"2026-04-16 21:00:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":0,"until":"2026-04-16 19:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/56206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/139"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/56206\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=56206"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=56206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
