"Las manos de Camarón" 2009 Acrylic on canvas, 80x60cm
These are the hands of the extraordinary talented, gipsy flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla, who, like too many other musicians, died before his time. Many spanish gipsies travel to his grave like pilgrims, his effect on flamenco music is undisputed.
Although it´s not my thing, I did this for a gypsy-festival in my hometown, because the sinti, the german-based gypsies, adore elvis and love his music very much.
