A New Mural to Enrich the Local Art Route
Recently, Castellciutat has seen the addition of an impressive mural that enriches the already well-known artistic route ‘CastellciutArt’. This initiative allows visitors to explore the various artistic manifestations that have emerged in the town in recent years.
A Tribute to the Traditions of the People
Urban artist Christian Sasa, originally from Burgos, has been commissioned to create this new piece, which serves as a tribute to the culinary traditions of the town, focusing on the slaughter of pigs and the preparation of alioli. The mural is not only a reflection of the local culture, but also highlights the importance of transmitting knowledge between generations.
Symbolic Elements and Design Details
The composition of the mural includes the arms of two members of the family who live in Cal Pobladó, symbolizing the connection between past and future. Instruments such as a knife, a mortar, and typical ingredients such as garlic and parsley are arranged on a table decorated with colorful tablecloths, bringing a touch of warmth and authenticity to the work.
A Project that Reflects the Essence of the Town
Sasa was motivated to participate in this project not only because of its originality, but also because of the personal connection he felt with Cal Pobladó’s family and the history surrounding the mural. Their choice of the original image, selected through a popular vote, reflects the community’s desire to see its cultural roots represented.
The Importance of Culinary Culture
One of the elements that caught Sasa’s attention was the mortar, an emblematic utensil of Catalan gastronomy that evokes the spirit of family gathering that accompanies the tradition of slaughtering the pig, a significant moment for many families in the area
Technical Aspects of Creation
For the creation of the mural, a hydraulic crane provided by Deltariba was used, as well as a wide range of sprays that made it possible to achieve the color palette that reflects the original image. This work is the result of collective work that seeks to perpetuate the cultural memory of Castellciutat.
A Promising Future for Local Art
With the addition of this mural, Castellciutat not only expands its artistic offering, but also reaffirms its commitment to preserving local traditions. This initiative is an example of the potential that art has to unite communities and celebrate their shared history.
