Afternoon Walk In Pamplona
Artist
Steve Henderson
Medium
Painting - Oil On Panel
Description
We were not designed to be confined behind walls.
Whether those walls are the carpeted cubicles of an industrial office, or even the walls of our beloved homes (where we should be safe from prying eyes and ears), we are free beings created to wander and explore, to walk and run and – why not? – skip and dance and jump and leap.
And being gregarious, we often like the company of at least one other human being. Then, under a big sky that has no limitations, we talk as we walk, doing another thing that humans were created to do: communicate.
The artwork, Afternoon Walk in Pamplona, invites us out on a sunny day for a stroll through the rocky, cobblestone streets of this Colombia, South America town. The couple in front is just that, a couple – his arm relaxedly draped over her shoulders, the two of them are as close physically as they are in heart and spirit. This is not a teenage couple but a mature one, a couple with many years of living behind them, between them. And they walk forward into more to come.
There is a feeling of leisure in their walk; they are in no particular hurry, just enjoying the day and the sunshine, the fresh air and the company of one another.
Behind them, a lone walker strides more quickly, purposefully – a few minutes from the time of this painting the faster walker will pass them on the way to an eventual destination. But even this person isn’t in a mad rush, a frenetic frenzy to get someplace, the way we so often are in “modern†culture.
This lone walker, too, is enjoying this time outside, away from the four walls, out in the sunshine, interacting with other people on the street as they pass one another.
That’s what we humans do – that’s what is eternally normal: we walk, talk, laugh, hug, interact, speak, question, converse. And on this sunny day in Pamplona, we just live.
