Matthieu Pommier Paints "Seasons" Mural on Rúa Paraíso for DesOrdes Creativas 19th Edition in Ordes

festival-fair · 2026-10-02

During the summer of 2026, the 19th edition of DesOrdes Creativas took place in Ordes, Galicia, where Matthieu Pommier created a mural named "Seasons" / "Estacións" on Rúa Paraíso. The festival designated this wall for him, showcasing a still life — a style typically associated with indoor settings — right on a public street. Pommier's artwork combines seasonal elements into a single composition, influenced by the Spanish bodegón and vanitas genres, which reflect on time and mortality. A skull and pumpkins anchor the piece to its cultural context, linking it to Samaín, a Galician tradition honoring the deceased. Pommier views the mural as a dialogue with the area, allowing the still-life format to engage with familiar objects. He shared images of the mural on Instagram on October 01, 2026.
