This project explores the reasons why artists are attracted to the enigmatic island of La Gomera, in the Spanish Canaries. In this project, I try to find out more about this special place, the landscapes that send me into flights of fancy. But I also want to know what that says about myself: what is it that makes western artists fall in love with the exotic, as Gaugin did in Tahiti almost 140 years ago? I normally question everything and take a critical, political perspective on the world. In this work, I want to question my own unshakeable romanticism.
