April's Boat

Oil on Canvas, 2001

38cm x 45cm

Two copies of this painting exist: the first was painted as a gift from Castulo, a Mexican friend of Guadalupe in London, as a gift to his Slovakian girlfriend, Martina, in 2001. A second copy was painted shortly afterwards.

It shows the sun rising in the East, lighting up four small boats that are guiding a larger boat. The journey is long, and the wild sea an obstacle to the boat's arrival at the end of its journey, at the edge of which are the large rocks and brown sand. The yellow and red lines form a window from which we are looking out at this scene.
