Second in a series of pictures about the Canary Islands. Original
natives from the Canaries, known as "Guanches" had an animistic
religion and like american indians, they lauded the spirits of nature
and so, i dedicated a picture to each island and the most relevant
spirit of that island.
This is the Spirit of the Volcano representing
Tenerife. With 3718 meters, Mount Teide National Park is one of the most impressive volcanos in the World. The character is a female Faun riding a giant Tizón lizzard, a very beautiful reptile endemic of the island.
This image is a combination of painting
and photo. You can't appreciate it here, but the finished image has an
oil painting texture feel. Costumes by Carlos
Nieves. Model Rosanna Walls and photographer is Óscar Rivilla.
