Artist about this artwork
Captured in this image is a contented pig, indulging in a feast of its cherished acorns. This fortunate creature leads a life of opulence and leisure, frolicking amidst the sprawling oak groves. Unlike its counterparts, this domestic animal enjoys an existence of unparalleled bliss.
The open expanse, caressed by fresh air and shaded by the protective canopy of oak trees, serves as its idyllic abode. The oak pastures are meticulously apportioned, ensuring each pig revels in a bountiful harvest of acorns. Every aspect of their lives, from weight to exercise regimen and diet, is scrupulously overseen. This conscientious care is administered with a singular purpose in mind - the transformation of each pig into the epitome of prestige, the coveted "jamon Iberico".
Yet, the regal days of this piggy, marked by sumptuous feasts and carefree gambols, are destined to be curtailed much sooner than those of its unassuming kin. A telltale sign graces its ear, signifying the inevitable journey to the abattoir, albeit only after attaining the requisite weight. Thus, its halcyon existence on the free pastures culminates on the discerning connoisseur's table.
