‘Water Carriers‘

‘Water Carriers’ (el portador d’aigua) in part is a homage recognising all those who carried water from the river Ebro to the village. Water contains many symbolism’s living and flowing, the vital source of life. The mural is also a celebration of color, harmony, beauty and imagination. It was wonderful to talk to local people who could remember those who experienced carrying water along this path.

Anna’s work depicts groups of figures in a timeless setting; offering viewers alternative possible worlds, questioning perceptions of reality and being. Her work embraces creativity, imagination, spirit and colour.

“The honesty in art is important to me, Art does not need to follow trends empty surface. In an age of cynicism. I wish to affirm the enduring qualities of the human spirit and attempt to reignite the search for the Logos (the soul), and “perceptive power of the mind”.

Anna is a British / Cypriot artist. On completing her BA in Psychology / Philosophy she went to study art and live in Cyprus for 6 years old. During this time she taught undergraduate / post graduate art students and her work represented Cyprus at various national and international exhibitions through The United Nations, the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture and the Cyprus Chamber of Fine Arts.

After her MA in Fine Art, she moved to the powerful and evocative landscape of ancient Dartmoor a continuous inspiration for her painting and music. Here she has been involved with various local, national and international projects, festivals and exhibitions. She has also recently qualified as an aromatherapist.

The Murals of Riba Roja: a visual feast We have visited Riba-Roja and have done a tour of the murals several times by now. I always enjoy walking around the village and admiring the mural paintings that adorn many of its walls. The paintings are from different artists and styles,inspired by and reflecting the history, culture and nature of the area. The murals make the village look lovely, lively and colorful, and I highly recommend visiting Riba and discovering these amazing works of art for yourself!

Very easy place to get to by train so even worth a day trip

Riu d'art tour We really enjoyed the Riu d'art tour. So often, as a tourist, you visit a city or town but never really see as much of it as you would like. You may visit the supermarket or café but leave before you have seen all it has to offer. The tour offered us just that. We had the opportunity to really get to know the area and the art tour made this fun for all of us. The children enjoyed spotting the art pieces and the information provided was just right to bring them to life. The lovely weather and character filled streets made for a really delightful afternoon.

An art gallery in the streets of a beautiful rural Catalan village From the moment I stepped off the train I saw the first piece of artwork, a large scale painted mural on the gable end of a crisp white house against the bright blue sky. What a welcome! The village of Riba-roja d'Ebre is beautiful and these pieces of contemporary artwork add moments of such creativity to the place. There's something for everyone, from illustrations, murals, sculptures and installations. There were these handy little boxes around the village which contained the maps, so we found it easy to get around and see all the artworks. The best thing of all, there were plenty of bars along the way to have regular cold beer breaks! A great idea, the art really compliments the historic architecture and the people are really friendly.
