Author: Herrero, FedericoWith their vivid colours, the paintings by Federico Herrero are connected to his profound perception of humanity within nature. His mediums stretch from canvas and paper to walls, streets and even public buildings. The recent paintings and monotypes included in this publication speak to Herrero’s maturity as a painter after two decades of work that explores the interplay between colour, form, intuition and place of origin. Their large swaths of colour recall the ambiguous forms of territories on a map, and Herrero has often played with the idea of geography in his oeuvre. The title is taken from a piece by the Costa Rican poet Alfonso Chase, in which he reflects upon the mundane beauty of the sights and sounds of his home country, despite his frequent trips abroad.
