Benasque 3 bis, from the Snow collection is a painting by contemporary Spanish artist Calo Carratalá. This work of art represents a mountainous winter landscape in the Spanish Pyrenean valley of Benasque. This high mountain peak, imposing and rocky, appears to blend into the grey clouds illuminated by a gentle sunlight. This painting is an oil on canvas in which white and grey tones are dominant.
Calo Carratalá is a Spanish contemporary artist, based in Valencia, specializing in landscape painting. The artist is passionate about travel and likes to paint the landscapes he finds on his travels which move him the most. His series of figurative paintings pay homage to the wonderful landscapes of Amazonia, Tanzania and Norway. Without implying it, the artist challenges our relationship with nature, and the ambivalent feelings it can inspire, between fear and fascination. Calo Carratalá’s work has been exhibited in many European galleries and public institutions. He has won several prestigious first prizes since the early 1990s.
“When I paint a landscape, I try to reflect the sensations it evokes in me, adopting a totally personal perspective.’’ – Calo Carratalá.

![Sezione Aurea 11-2025 | Mattia Bosco
The artist’s process is profoundly different to that found in traditional sculpture, in which the sculptor starts off with a block of stone – which contains the desired and imagined form within – from which he removes surplus material. In contrast, for Mattia Bosco, the sculptor’s intervention is simple, confined and restricted, and aims only to draw out and purify the form already present in the stone. Form and material are thus inseparable: by nature, stone always leans towards a certain form and is therefore already a potential sculpture.
The artist selects the rocks that fascinate him, right there in the quarries, from among the extracted fragments. Providing them with a base, he positions them vertically or hang them and then sets about making his own mark on the surface of the stone, using rotary cutters. There is a relationship of collaboration between the artist and the material: “It is not a case of man on one side and the world on the other, […] the relationship between me, who is sculpting, and the material itself, is a tussle between two parts of the world, engaging in a show of force.”
