Alberto Letamendi, is an artist from Ordizia (Basque Country) born in 1964. In his work, whether in painting or sculpture, he uses various techniques with a preference for natural materials such as fe powder, wood and pigments. His series "ITXAROPENA" - Hope - is a work, inspired by Basque heritage. The artist with his characters dressed in traditional Basque costumes, shows us his vision of local solidarity and mutual aid. The human warmth released by the bright colors, refers to the idea of communion and unity that exists in its territory.
