Claustros is an allegorical visual poem in nine chapters. All nine chapters will eventually be published here.
Claustros started life in the 1970s as a single painting (oil on stretched newspaper, aprrox 600 x 600 mm), which I sold for about £10. The original painting is recreated as Claustros V.
A second painting was commissioned and produced (which is recreated as VI) - similar size, similar price and the idea for a trilogy was born; however I don't think that the third painting was ever created.
As the idea for the trilogy emerged, so did the concept of a poem (which was written, though sadly lost to time) which evolved firstly into a tetrology, then up to six or seven chapters (I think).
This modern rework attempts to recreate the vision of those earlier thoughts, but alas may be subject to the vagaries of time and fading memory.
