TAKO

Work with Japanese inspiration, very fluid forms, referring to the great Japanese artist Kanagawa with its waves. In the background is the red dot of the Japanese flag and a central animal, in this case the octopus "Tako" in Japanese, which takes all the prominence. Yellow is the main color, with a lot of symbolism, it is complementary with the central red and the blue of the waves. This color represents the sunlight, it is associated with happiness and joy.

La cocollona de l'Eixample

"La Cocollona de l'Eixample".
In this work, she wanted to refer to the legend of "La Cocollona" typical of the city of Girona.
This legend was created thanks to the mistake of a child understanding a story that he had been told.
The story goes like this: Once upon a time, a nun was punished in a dungeon, accused of having done something evil. That dungeon was located on the edge of the river Onyar (a river in Girona). As it was such a dark and humid place, the nun's skin was transformed. She grew scales and her skin turned green. She became a crocodile that managed to get out of the dungeon and sank into the river. It was a night of full moon and with the moonlight, the creature transformed into a being with butterfly wings. They say that on nights with a full moon. If you pay attention to the surroundings of the Onyar river, you can still see "La Cocollona" hovering.

Kid's imagination

This mural symbolizes a child's imagination, it is endless. There are two main characters. On the right, a girl who seems to be about to touch a dragon. The dragon, on the left-hand side, seems to be made of another material, it is on another plane. The girl is not afraid to touch the dragon, she does not limit herself, she simply flows.
In this work, Cintia wanted to say that we must continue to use our imagination in the same way we did as children, without fear, without barriers.
