La Osa y el Madroño – Original Acrylic Painting (40 x 30 cm)

“La Osa y el Madroño” is my colorful and playful interpretation of one of the most famous symbols of Madrid.

The bear and the strawberry tree are a well-known emblem of the city, representing its history and identity. In this painting, I reimagine this traditional symbol in a more fun and imaginative way.

The bear is inspired by Mexican alebrijes, with bright colors, patterns, and decorative details. This gives the piece a lively and joyful feeling, while still keeping the connection to Madrid. The contrast between tradition and playful creativity is something I really enjoy exploring.

The simple composition and strong colors make the artwork feel fresh and full of energy. It brings together two cultural influences in a natural and light way.

This painting is part of the series Madrid Castizo: Chulapos, Chotis y Vermú, where I explore both iconic symbols and everyday moments of the city.

It’s a vibrant statement piece that adds color, personality, and a unique touch of Madrid to your home.
