A new look Secret Tenerife for 2007
Those of you following these chronicles via our webfeed might like to drop in and see the new decor released today at Secret Tenerife for 2007. The header image is cropped from my photo of the mural - painted by a local resident, Clemen Martín Lorenzo - at the Farmers' Market in the El Palmar valley.
Here I'm only guessing, but my interpretation is that the block shapes represent the local cliffs and mountains, rolling into the fertile green valleys here abouts and, the rope like elements are a nod in the direction of local basket weaving crafts.
There's more to it, which you can see in the image with this press release.
The whole is, I feel, very representative of the artistic (and even culinary) trend on these islands currently, which is to present traditional things in new ways. At the same time, painting buildings in in deep colors of reds and earth tones, has also seen new popularity lately, but is actually revisiting the fashions of earlier centuries.
The mural was added to the market so that people would notice it from afar, i.e. to draw in custom: let's see if a snip of it can do the same for this site! :)
