<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Fisherman (Ana Bel\u00e9n Aguilera Garrido- 5\u00ba Semipresencial)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For several years,\nEstepona has become a great popular museum, a place which different artists\nhave chosen for their art work. One of them is \u201cThe Fisherman\u201d, which is my\nfavourite mural. Moreover, \u201cThe\nFisherman\u201d is the most successful mural of all among the citizens of Estepona\nand tourists who love popular art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of its many\ndetails is that it is made up of five buildings, which are in different lines\nof several streets. Therefore, to observe this mural, it is necessary to place\nyourself at a strategic point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Fisherman\u201d is my\nfavourite mural since it represents a very important activity that has been\ncarried out, is being carried out and will be carried out in this wonderful\ntown: fishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From my point of view,\n\u201cThe Fisherman\u201d represents fishing from various perspectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fishing as the relationship between man and marine habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FISHING DAY\n(FRANCISCA CABELLO S\u00c1NCHEZ\/ JOSE DOMINGO GIL JEREZ -1\u00baB)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Estepona is a famous town in the heart of the Sun Coast. The town has more than 50 murals. Our favourite one is The Fisherman. It is probably the best mural. It is done on the wall of six buildings, 1000 square metres. It is the biggest mural in Spain. Before they painted the walls, they were old and ugly. Now you can see the change. It was made as a\ntribute to the fishermen of Estepona. The picture is about a fisherman; his\nname is Manuel Arag\u00f3n. He is 83 years old and he was always a fisherman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FISHING DAY (MIRIAM DUARTE MART\u00cdNEZ\/ MAR\u00cdA GARC\u00cdA S\u00c1NCHEZ\n\u2013 1\u00baB)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Without a doubt, our favourite mural in Estepona is Fishing Day. It is on Isabel Simon Street. To see the mural you have to look at it from the distance. This mural occupies six blocks of flats and It has 1000 square meters. It is done with exterior acrylic paints and varnish. It is the largest vertical mural in Spain. We can see a fisherman trying to catch a fish with his rod. He looks like very happy because she caught a sardine. FISHING DAY (INMACULADA S\u00c1NCHEZ- 2\u00baC)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The mural chosen is\n\u201cD\u00eda de Pesca\u201d, which is located in Estepona in the neighbourhood \u201cIsabel Sim\u00f3n\u201d\nacross six buildings. The size of this artwork is over a thousand meters and\nit\u2019s the biggest mural in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mural represents\nthe local fishermen, the sea and the good weather of this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I chose it because\nunlike the other murals in the city, this one is composed of six different\nparts painted across different buildings, and you have to play with the\nperspective to have a full view of the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This work\npays tribute to the local fishermen and as the mural is a realistic painting,\nhe wanted to include a real person. He painted a fisherman named Manuel Arag\u00f3n<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mural\nis one of the \u201croute of artistic murals\u201d in Estepona, which was created with\nthe aim of beautifying and revitalizing its neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my\nopinion, I think that it can be interesting as a tourist attraction, but I\ndisagree with that idea, as I think that Estepona is a typical Andalusian city\nwhich belongs to the \u201cWhite villages architecture\u201d and this kind of art interferes\nwith this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FISHING DAY (ANTONIO JOS\u00c9 P\u00c1EZ MORENO, VICENTE\nROMAN TORRES, CINTHIA ARANDA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n REMEDIOS MAR\u00cdA PARTAL TORRES- C1.2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b4Fishing day\u00b4\nencompasses five quite large blocks, which are perfectly aligned and approximately thirty meters high. The mural\nshows a typical local fisherman who has caught a large fish set in front of an\nimmense seascape background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mural captures the history of the old fishing town\nof Estepona where fishing was and still is one of the main industries and\nsource of employment and income for the local people. Accordingly, it\nrepresents the origin, history and heritage of the town and brings back\ncountless memories for the local residents. Additionally, it sparks the\ninterest of people who come to visit the city and they relate their experience\nof their unforgettable visit to others. As a further benefit it brings back\nlife to these older residential buildings and the surrounding neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fisherman is shown at full height on the first\nlower block wearing traditional clothes and holding a straining fishing rod in\nhand, implying that he has just caught a large fish which is shown jumping out\nof the sea. The fish is enormous and with a hook in its mouth is the full\nheight of the top final block. The middle blocks have the fisherman\u2019s line on\nthem leading to the hook in the fish\u00b4s mouth. Additionally, these middle blocks portray the deep blue sea with\ncrashing waves, below the clear blue sky decorated with pure white fluffy\ncumulus clouds. At first glance, your eye is pulled to the fisherman and the\nhuge fish jumping out of the sea. However, when you start to look in more detail\nyou can see how cleverly the artist has linked all five blocks by extending the\nseascape from one block to another with the fishing line connecting them all.\nStanding and looking at the mural, the artist has combined the five separate\nbuildings into one canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The painting wall is very well conceived and lifelike,\nas though someone had taken a photograph and then pasted it onto the walls of\nthe building at a larger scale. The way in which the artist has been able to\nlink the mural over five buildings is very impressive and moreover realistic.\nThe way the fish is leaping out of the sea is very powerful and gives the mural\naction and life. The bright colourful sea and sky combine to create a wonderful\nbackground making you feel that you were on the shoreline watching a live\naction shot of the fisherman and his prize capture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This mural\nis an impressive, oustanding, powerful, colourful and life like representation\nof a man having an excellent day while fishing. In our minds this art work\nportrays the concentrated attitude of\nthe fisherman when he catches the stunning fish with his fishing rod (a long\ntapered flexible pole, usually in sections, for using with a fishing line and\nfrequently a reel )<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\ncolours used in this mural look bright and warm, although some are called cold\ncolours. There is also light and deep dark colours involved in this\ncomposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can say\nthat, as a whole, the mural is painted in the dominating colours of the sea\nblues, greens and whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The spaces\nof the mural are symmetrically divided. In the foreground there is a fishing\nrod with a fish caught and in the background we see the sea and waves . In the\nfar distance, we can see the fisherman wearing all the suitable clothes to\nfish. On the left, the stunning fish stands, and on the right, we can see the\nfishing rod. It looks like the artist\nmanaged to capture the mood of that remarkable moment. It looks like the\nfisherman was concentrating very hard while fishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To sum up, this is a magnificent piece of art, and like many of the other murals in the town it really takes your breath away. For us, it is so realistic, colourful and lifelike when you look up at it you could be looking out of your window down at the beach seeing a local fisherman catching his evening meal. This masterpiece is simply amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n D\u00cdA DE PESCA de Jos\u00e9 Fern\u00e1ndez R\u00edos. C\/Terraza (Barriada Isabel Sim\u00f3n).

The sea has a lot of waves and the sky is cloudy. We think that the mural represents Estepona because it was a fishing village many years ago. It is really amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.eoiestepona.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/20210430_094034.jpg\")
