Chulapa con Mantón – Original Acrylic Painting (73 x 60 cm)

“Chulapa con Mantón” shows a quiet and intimate moment of Madrid’s tradition.

A chulapa is seen from behind, wearing her traditional mantón and a clavel in her hair. The focus is on the shapes, colors, and textures of the shawl, with its patterns and fringes gently standing out against the soft background.

This painting captures a calm moment during the verbenas, the traditional street festivals of Madrid. It’s not about movement or noise, but about a more personal and silent side of the celebration.

The composition is simple and balanced, with warm colors and soft transitions. The larger format gives space to the details of the mantón, making it the central element of the piece.

This work is part of the series Madrid Castizo: Chulapos, Chotis y Vermú, where I explore both the lively and the quiet moments of Madrid’s culture.

It’s an elegant and reflective artwork that brings tradition, texture, and a sense of calm into your home.
