Festa Major de Vilafranca

My hometown, Vilafranca del Penedès, and it’s rich folklorical culture has always been one of my favourite topics to talk about in my drawings.

An illustrated tale of a goldfinch experiencing the town’s folklore celebrations for the first time. Commissioned for the museum Casa de la Festa Major.

CHARACTER DESIGN

The museum team wanted to create 5 characters who participated in the Festa Major in different ways: as dancers, part of the public, medical team, musicians, etc.

PERSONAL WORK

From here on you can find a selection of my personal work around the topic, starting with a study of the different traditional dresses the dancers wear and continuing with drawings of Vilafranca’s streets.
