The artist Julio Anaya paints a realistic carving of the Christ of Love on the walls of an abandoned rural house for the centenary of the Malaga brotherhood.
A House in ruins of Velez-Malaga hides a work of art that few know about. He Malaga artist Julio Anaya has painted a movingly realistic portrait of the Christ of Love of Malaga on one of the remaining walls of the house. An initiative that is included in the centenary of the Brotherhood of Love and Charity of the capital of Malaga.
The artistic work is located in a house in ruins between the road to Torrox and Algarrobo, in a rural area surrounded by olive trees. Julio Anaya, who knew the location, has captured his painting in the only area of the house that has not collapsed and is located sheltered under a small roof. An accessible and hidden location at the same time, since the image is not easy to detect at first glance.
The painting of the Christ of Love is becoming a small altar and place of worship by those who know of its existence, with prints from different brotherhoods and brotherhoods, and messages written on the stones that rest at the foot of the image.
The recreation of the baroque carving by Fernando Ortiz is an unprecedented artistic intervention that builds bridges between contemporary art and the world of brotherhood. Julio Anaya applies his technique of a tramp on unconventional materials, in this case the wall of a ruined house.
The artist from Malaga is used to unusual artistic challenges. At the beginning of September he exhibited in Tokyo a recreation of Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ on 18 cartoons. A style that has given it international projection.
