About the Item
Baobab N5 is a unique graphite on paper mounted on a wood frame drawing by contemporary artist Calo Carratalá, dimensions are 65 × 46 cm (25.6 × 18.1 in). Dimensions of the framed artwork (methacrylate box) : 67 cm x 48 cm x 4 cm (26.3 x 18.8 x 1.5 in).
The artwork is signed, sold framed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The baobab, Africa's most recognizable tree, is the subject of this series of drawings, which were inspired by the artist's travels through Tanzania. Calo Carratalá transforms the landscape and its components based on his firsthand knowledge of the places and the emotions they evoked in him.
Contemporary painter Calo Carratalá was born in 1959 near Valencia, Spain, and specialises in figurative paintings of natural landscapes. He has travelled widely to destinations from the Amazon to Norway and developed a romantic view of nature, extolling its beauty and the power of the elements that make it up. Travel is at the heart of the artist’s creative process: he immerses himself in the places he visits in order to paint them.

Calo Carratalá
Artist Calo Carratalá takes a contemporary view of nature in his stirring large-format drawings and landscape paintings. He maintains that we don't view it the way we once did and, in contrast to the way that Renaissance painters saw landscapes as depictions of places that had yet to be discovered, Carratalá sees the natural world as something to be protected and not merely admired.
From his snow-topped cabins hidden deep in the woods to sunlit tropical beaches, Carratalá’s scenes are wholly inviting for viewers. Each of his paintings reflects the majesty of nature and gives us a sense of its innate significance.
Carratalá was born and raised in Spain and began painting when he was very young. In 1980, he began his art studies at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia and finished his studies in 2000 at the Spanish Academy in Rome.
Carratalá made a name for himself in the art world over the subsequent few years, securing many commissions and showing in numerous galleries around Spain and greater Europe. In 2010, he received a request from the city of Alicante in his native country to show his work at a metro station. In 2019, he exhibited his art at Museo del Ruso in Alarcón.
