Print with an illustration of a girl smoking by the Riu del Vedat at the Marjal Pego-Oliva Natural Park (Valencian Community). The full title of the illustration is «Girl skips classes to go to smoke in front of the Riu Vedat while waiting for a friend».
ABOUT THE IMAGE
A young girl, although old enough to drive a scooter but not old enough to drive a car, blows some smoke while waiting for her boyfriend at the Riu Bullent. What's surprising is that she's not looking at her cell phone, which is rare. Suspicious. I wouldn't trust a person her age who doesn't look at her cell phone every 5 minutes. She is not clean wheat. She can't be trusted. At the very least «li falta un regonet».
About the windmill in the background I am not very clear if it is used to move water or to generate energy. Less clear to me is why I decided to include the fence in the image, I could have removed it but for some kind of commitment to the truth I decided to include it. If that is the reason I must recognize that the commitment is not so serious because neither the girl nor the little bird drinking from the puddle have never existed (let's see if in the end I am the one who is not trustworthy...).

Reviews
It is a marvel of travel literature and graphic art. An Ibicencan like me, tired of seeing the typical plastic souvenirs, is glad that at last there is something more interesting to have as a souvenir.
I love it. I've really enjoyed the experience of getting to know an artist like Marroiak a little. The course has been a true gift, with well-chosen, natural, and sincere words. I truly believe it's something we should all hear and read, especially when there are so many ways to create art and so few ways to distance ourselves from creativity, but we humans are soft. I think that's why we sometimes forget to enjoy it and become critical, blind. We forget that behind a work of art there's an artist, a moment, a child, feelings... and although we focus a lot on aesthetics, we must also be open to that, receptive to observing, learning, and enjoying. And well, I'm grateful, and remembering it again now... good morning! Goodbye! I'm off to draw with all my heart :D
I've been eyeing that little house from my best friend's window for ages... When I saw the auction, I didn't hesitate for a second... it had to be mine!!! In the end, it was mine... and my friend will receive the best gift in the world!!
