"Heraldo de la Armada"
(Harbinger of The Armada)
33 x 26 x 3 cm.
Pencil drawing on old papers in an old frame.

The 5th of 6 pieces for the "Tide and Ties" Spanish Armada show.
This piece tells the poignant story of a shipwrecked man from the Spanish Armada, discovered washed ashore at Ballygally, Northern Ireland. The artwork features St. Patrick's Church, where locals laid him to rest in an unmarked grave. Years later, a tree grew at the burial site, symbolizing life emerging from tragedy.
A crow perched on the gravestone represents the Morrígan from Irish folklore, a figure associated with war and fate, often foretelling doom and death. The salamander, originally a pendant found from the wreck of "La Girona," symbolizes resilience and magic. Crafted from gold and rubies—materials sourced from far-flung lands during Spain's imperial height—this mythical creature is linked to the belief that it could survive flames. Those who wore it likely sought luck, though tragically, the wearer met a grim fate in the shipwreck.

El 5º de 6 piezas para el espectáculo "Tide and Ties" de la Armada Española.

Esta pieza cuenta la conmovedora historia de un hombre naufragado de la Armada Española, descubierto a la orilla en Ballygally, Irlanda del Norte. La obra presenta la Iglesia de San Patricio, donde los lugareños lo enterraron en una tumba sin marcar. Años después, un árbol creció en el lugar de la sepultura, simbolizando la vida que emerge de la tragedia.
Un cuervo posado sobre la lápida representa a la Morrígan de la mitología irlandesa, una figura asociada con la guerra y el destino, a menudo presagiando doom y muerte. La salamandra, originalmente un colgante encontrado en los restos de "La Girona", simboliza la resiliencia y la magia. Elaborada en oro y rubíes—materiales traídos de tierras lejanas durante la época imperial de España—esta criatura mítica está vinculada a la creencia de que podía sobrevivir a las llamas. Aquellos que la llevaban probablemente buscaban suerte, aunque, trágicamente, el portador encontró un destino sombrío en el naufragio.

"El Jardinero Silencioso"

Esta obra es parte de mi contribución a la exposición "Tides and Ties" en la Hamilton Galllery. Cuenta la conmovedora historia de un soldado que apareció en la playa de Ballygally. Descubierto por los residentes locales, fue llevado a la iglesia de St Patricks y enterrado sin una lápida.

Años más tarde, un castaño dulce, conocido como "El Árbol de la Armada Española," comenzó a crecer en el mismo lugar donde fue enterrado. La leyenda dice que el soldado llevaba semillas en sus bolsillos para prevenir el escorbuto. De este humilde comienzo, emergió un árbol magnífico, simbolizando el ciclo de la vida y la muerte, y marcando un capítulo importante en nuestra historia.

"El Jardinero Silencioso"

This piece is part of my contribution to the "Tides and Ties" exhibition at the Hamilton Gallery. It tells the poignant story of a soldier who washed ashore at Ballygally Beach. Discovered by local residents, he was brought to St. Patrick’s Church and laid to rest without a gravestone.

Years later, a sweet chestnut tree, known as "The Spanish Armada Tree," began to grow at the very spot where he was buried. Legend has it that the soldier carried seeds in his pockets to ward off scurvy. From this humble beginning, a magnificent tree emerged, symbolizing the cycle of life and death, and marking an important chapter in our history.
