To San Francisco

Amid the smoke of a broken-down engine and the scorching desert sun, To San Francisco captures far more than a fleeting moment — it’s a symbolic journey echoing the spirit of an era. This image draws directly from the aesthetics and ideals of the 1960s, weaving cultural, cinematic, and musical references into a visual narrative filled with nostalgia and counterculture.

Inspired by the Yé-Yé movement, flower power, and the free spirit of the Summer of Love, the protagonist embodies a traveler caught between retro fashion fantasy and the raw reality of the open road. Her floral dress, yellow coat, and white boots aren’t merely stylistic choices — they’re deliberate nods to icons such as Brigitte Bardot, Nancy Sinatra, or even Jenny from Forrest Gump, who also hitchhiked to San Francisco to the tune of Scott McKenzie.

The stranded car — a classic Spanish Seat 600 — was chosen not only for its era-appropriate design, but also for its rear engine, which allows for a plume of smoke to emerge dramatically from the back. The license plate subtly hides the word “Apis”, Latin for “bee” — a recurring symbol in the artist’s visual universe. The bee often appears hidden within her works, a quiet signature and a reminder that meaning often lies beneath the surface.

The landscape, shot in Los Monegros, evokes the vast, dry terrains of the American Southwest. Its harsh light and infinite roads are a direct visual reference to the cinematic imagery of series like Breaking Bad — not in narrative, but in aesthetic tone and atmosphere.

The suitcase beside the protagonist isn’t just luggage; it’s an object that has appeared in earlier works by the artist, creating a visual thread between different moments in her oeuvre. For those familiar with her body of work, it's a familiar presence loaded with silent meaning.

To San Francisco is a carefully constructed image where every detail is intentional, forming a network of layered references: fashion, cinema, music, memory, and personal symbols. Behind its inviting aesthetic lies a deeper story — an invitation to look twice, and then again.

It is important to avoid direct contact with sunlight. If you want to save the artwork, instead of having it exposed, it should be done in a drawer and protected with a tissue paper or any other soft paper.

If you exhibit the artwork in a room, it must be protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

If you want to frame it, the materials must be acid free as well as the passepartout. If the frame is made of wood and is in direct contact with the photo, it must be made of natural wood and without varnish.

Adhesives must also be acid free. If not, any other adhesive could leave yellow marks and deteriorate the support.

The work should never be touched directly with the hands in order to avoid leaving traces of grease or moisture. You have to touch it with cotton gloves like the ones that we enclose inside the package.

Do not screw the photograph back on after it has been removed from the tube in case you have received it like that.

Store the work in a cool, dry place preferably at a room temperature between 10º and 30º with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

If you have acquired more than one photograph, they should never be touched between them since the surface is very sensitive. You should always put a tissue paper or, at least, another soft paper between the both of them.

A pair of white cotton gloves and a personalized postcard.

The artwork is shipped flat or rolled in a tube depending on the size, well protected with bubble wrap.
