A Journey of Inspiration
In the weeks leading up to the mural’s creation, Eloise Gillow immersed herself in the region’s mountains, experiencing the rich tradition of walking that Galicia is known for, particularly the famous Camino de Santiago. This experience influenced her artistic vision, as she sought to convey the feeling of wandering not only through the beautiful countryside but also through one’s mind and imagination.

The Essence of Solitude
The mural embodies the essence of solitude, inviting viewers to envision themselves alone in the serene landscape. It evokes the peacefulness found in rural walks, where each step allows for personal reflection and deep connection with the surrounding nature. The vibrant scenery reflects the breathtaking views from Ordes, which Eloise Gillow could appreciate while using a cherry picker to gain a new perspective on her work.
