A sun-bleached path, a solitary hut, the light bouncing off dry stone and brush - this ink painting captures a moment from the Cami de Cavalls, a long-distance trail that weaves around the coast of Menorca. Based on a photograph taken during a spontaneous hike with my mum, this piece layers memory and humour with delicate brushwork and subtle tonal shifts.

The painting depicts a hut that seemed to emerge organically from the surrounding rock, almost camouflaged against the landscape. Ink washes build the backdrop with softness and warmth, while fine lines and stippling define the roughness of stone and the rugged edge of the trail. The piece evokes both stillness and movement - the feeling of setting off without knowing exactly where you're headed, only that you’re glad to be walking.

Artist Note:

This was one of those hikes we weren’t really prepared for - we set out in beachwear and sandals, laughing as we passed people in full hiking gear. I remember the heat, the dust, the quiet sound of our steps on the trail. And then this moment: a hut, humble and beautiful, tucked into the earth like it had grown there.

I worked on this painting slowly, trying to honour the way the structure belonged to the land around it. The washes came first - soft, dry, sun-warmed - then the detail followed. It’s a small piece, but it holds a lot: a sense of freedom, of being unburdened, of sharing something quietly joyful with someone you love.
