Illustration
The original
This original illustration shows details of the manufacturing process.pencil marks, some smudges. For years I have left the originals like this as a souvenir of the creative process.
Origin
It was made for the Oliva artbook 2016. Since then it has been stored in my archive (a shelf full of messy drawings).
Top Sales
The samaruc engraving (reproduction) is one of the top selling in the online store. It is also one of the illustrations that arouses more sympathy among young and old. Something that has always made me very happy.
The samaruc
Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a samaruc. They say there are very few leftpartly due to the introduction of the gambusíanother fish of similar size, introduced halfway around the world for mosquito control. Also because of the destruction of its habitat.
When my father was a child it was common for children to go to the Marjal to fish for samarucs.
The samaruc (Valencia hispanica) is a small fish up to 8 cm in length.native to the still waters and creeks of the Mediterranean Sea coast. It is a species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. It has disappeared from other areas further north and south of its current distribution.
Although at the time it was sought after as an aquarium fishThe regulation and the difficulty of its care make it uncommon in this field.
Their color varies from light brown to yellow. Males have orange edges on their fins.. It swims in loose shoals and is carnivorous. It feeds on invertebrates and larvae.

Who wouldn't like to have a little piece of Valencia at home, made with such taste? I love it
Drawing as a way of life and not as a technique to be "learned""
A real pleasure that you share your passion with us and also know how to transmit it in such a beautiful way. Drawing is an art, we all know that, but you also have to build the concept and not just stay in the technique. Great learning and great your words! Thank you 🙂 Thank you
I held this book in my hands years ago, and returning to the island brought back so many memories. I tried to find it in Ibiza, but had no luck, so I got it directly from the author. It was packaged with such care and attention, and everything went perfectly. Thank you so much :)
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!!
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
