Project for an Eclectic Painter shows an uninhabited interior charged with references to spaces associated with painting. In hyperrealist mode, this painting is the vision of an imaginary Bilbao, circumscribed to the interiors of the city¿s Fine Arts Museum, where he recreates a witty game of reality and appearance.
