Strange movements in the fountain
Description:
In the wildest regions of Australia there are two species of crocodiles. The image shows the dreaded estuary or saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), known affectionately as “salties”. It is the largest species of crocodile in the world; they are tremendously aggressive and excellent hunters. They are capable of living in both freshwater and up to 500 km inland: bathing in any of the thousands of kilometers of coastline that constitute their territory would be suicidal. The Mediterranean countries would not be what they are if we had these prehistoric animals on our shores.
The psychosis I experienced when penetrating an area inhabited by these deadly creatures and having to cross masses of water in my car where their presence was possible, caused in my case, a small trauma that warns me of their potential existence even in areas hardly accessible to them, like the crocodile that appears in the image, which seems to have taken one of the sculptural fountains of the park as his home.
Significance of the artwork:
This artwork teaches us to look and reflect twice before assuming that we understand anything since we could be ignoring something vital.

Satin – artist’s recommendation (Baryta & Platine)
To print this work I will use my favorite satin museum-quality paper: Baryta Photographique 310 gsm. It provides a photo-realistic appearance, giving veracity to the image scene. Ultrasmooth, deep blacks and high contrast.
