Description: 'The process in this work has much to do with the rebirth and the start of Spring. I started this painting firts day of February. By the end of it the chromatic palette and the value had completely changed. As my work is purely procedual, I started with big blocks of greys. Composing a cold scenario. The more the warmth came into Germany, and the more sun the dense clouds let through shine in the upcoming weeks, would have a major influence in the resultant work. Shy colours emerged and played around with each other. Big blocks of carefully applied paint were demanded to impose order and oxygen into the composition. The name, therefore, is a playful representation of the german weather combined with the greek mythology. Híades being the five ninfas in charge of rain. My work being the bloom of the countryside appearing in front of my eyes as an answer to their work. A changing scenery just as the process of this work.'
