Pescador de hierro N1, is a figurative painting by Spanish contemporary artist Calo Carratalá from the “Tanzania” series.
This picture represents a fisherman half immersed in water. The drawing is rough and rapid, with lively brush strokes the artist captures in an almost impressionist way the fisherman’s movements, the fishing net and the ripples in the water.
Looking for new subjects Calo Carratalá explores Tanzania. The artist takes great pleasure to be constantly on the lookout for new themes during his travels. He catalogs the entire world through his notes and photos. Drawing therefore becomes his way of reliving his travels.
This work is a one-off and is signed by the artist.

In this series, the artist depicts landscapes from this historic and natural region of Senegal, located in the south of the country and bordering the Casamance River. The title of the artwork refers to the precise moment captured by Calo Carratalá during his journey through the African landscape.
The artwork was shown at the artist’s solo show “No hay espacio, todo es tiempo. Africa en la memoria“, which took place at the La Nau Cultural Centre of the University of Valencia in Spain in 2024. The exhibited artworks vary from very small paintings to very large ones, inviting the visitors to establish a physical proximity with the former and to move around the space to explore the latter. Some works have been created specifically for the beautiful cloister and the Sala Oberta. Calo Carratalá’s work demonstrates a deep attachment to nature, and it has the capacity to arise reflections on ecological awareness and on our place in the world we live in.
“Calo Carratalá does not show the journey as a mere journey, but as an objective in itself. […] He presents the landscape he has found on his arrival there, what he discovers, and, through painting, he constructs a new representation of the landscape.” – Victoria Chesner, Artist and Lecturer in Painting and Landscape, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Murcia.
Calo Carratalá 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.
