01. Malamente

Another painting inspired by "El Mal Querer" by Rosalía. This time it's the first song of the album: "Malamente". This is the first song I ever heard from Rosalía, and I was impressed by it. I never thought I could like this kind of music, didn't know it could exist even. So unique, and touching; her voice so alluring. "Malamente" speaks of augury, a bad omen, and is the beginning of the story she tells in the album. I'm gonna be honest: my paintings inspired by this album have a very political meaning to me, given the dictatorship in my country, but I've talked about it in previous paintings, so I won't repeat myself. Still, I wanted to portrait someone with their eyes closed, ignoring all the signs around them, knowing very well that the path they've chosen is a bad one that'll bring them lots of pain. That little broken glass, I felt how it creaked Before it fell to the ground, I already knew it was breaking The landing light is blinking A voice on the stairs, someone crossing the hall... She can close her eyes, but she still can see, from within herself, that things will turn badly.
