The cityscape, or skyline, is a silhouette or view of all or part of a city’s tallest structures and buildings. It can also be described as the artificial skyline created by the overall structure of a city.
This is the aim of this work: to show a skyline of Aldaia with some of the emblematic structures of the municipality, such as the parish church of La Anunciación, the old water tank, the Casa de la Llotgeta which houses the Fan (Palmito, MUPA) Museum in Aldaia, an old brickyard with its slender chimney or the imposing sculpture that pays homage to the Kyoto Protocol.
All of this is painted from a distant perspective on one side of Aldaia’s Youth Centre, a building that used to house the Old Town Hall from the 19th century and which currently houses spaces dedicated to young people, the facilities of the municipal radio station Aldaia Ràdio and the exhibition hall called Espai de Art Plaça Major.
