The Kentish Plover is a small, swift bird that loves the dunes of the Cadiz coast and travels thousands of kilometers to nest there.
To illustrate the label of a new organic white wine from Bodegas Barbadillo I investigated its shape and size, the way it flies and walks, its colors, how it relates to its environment.
At first glance, it doesn't look like a strong bird; it's delicate. When I drew it, it reminded me of the high tones of a song, without which the melody has no meaning. It reminded me of pink and yellow clouds, of the marsh. Thus, an image emerged that combines dunes, salt, and light.
A label isn't just a label; it's an exhibition format. We may spend more time looking at these types of works than we do in an exhibition hall. And this is also part of the sensorial experience of enjoying a wine.
The Kentish Plover aims to highlight everyone's commitment to environmental preservation, because the Kentish Plover is seriously threatened by human interference.
Some of the photos, including the bottlenose, the nest, and the ringed Plover, are from Montse Mármol . Thank you, Montse, Carmen, Carina, and Laura, for including me in this project. Thank you, Rubén, for helping me along the way.

El Chorlitejo Patinegro es un pequeño pájaro veloz que adora las dunas del litoral gaditano y recorre miles de kilómetros para anidar en ellas.
Para ilustrar la etiqueta de un nuevo vino blanco ecológico de las Bodegas Barbadillo investigué su forma y tamaño, la manera en que vuela y camina, sus colores, cómo se relaciona con su entorno.
A simple vista no parece un ave fuerte, es delicada. Al dibujarlo me recordaba a los tonos agudos de una canción, sin los cuales no tiene sentido la melodía. Me llevaba a nubes rosas y amarillas, a la marisma. Así fue surgiendo una imagen que contiene dunas, sal y luz.
Una etiqueta no solo es una etiqueta, es un formato expositivo. Quizá pasamos más tiempo contemplando este tipo de obras que en una sala de exposiciones. Y esto también forma parte de la experiencia sensorial de disfrutar un vino.
Con Patinegro se persigue visibilizar el compromiso de todos por la preservación del Medio Ambiente, porque el Chorlitejo Patinegro se encuentra gravemente amenazado por la interferencia humana.
Algunas de las fotos, botella, nido, anillado Chorlitejo son de Montse Mármol. Gracias Montse, Carmen, Carina, Laura por contar conmigo en este proyecto. Gracias Rubén por ayudarme en el proceso.

I love it, Adolfo, as a half from Cádiz I adore those birds from the first time I saw them as a child. I also worked for Antonio Barbadillo years ago, it is a company that I adore and all this set makes this project very close to me. Congratulations on the work, and thanks for explaining it so in detail.
A beautiful illustration, made with the finesse that such a wine requires. Precious

@irene_roga It was incredible to visit the area, the wineries, understand more about the project and the habitat of this bird. The truth is that I really enjoyed this project! It makes me happy that someone there likes me! Thanks for your words!!!
@she Thank you very much for your words! : D
@cintiaanalia1978 Thank you very much !!! : D Another greeting back.
Extremely sensitive project - with all your senses - felt, tasted, seen. And I find the peculiarity of the landscape, the habitat, in the bird. It's a kind of mirror in your work. Bodies filled with their surroundings, their home. Looking into the landscape, feeling the natural environment in which the bird lives and tasting the wine are all connected. Pure enjoyment!
You left me speechless Adolfo. It is a beautiful Work of Art. You are a Teacher, a Pro, a Teacher. It is impossible to imitate you, you are a Unique and Different Creator in everything you do. You honor me with your friendship and you have opened the doors of my heart and filled it with strength, energy and inspiration. The Patinegro and his tenderness will live in my heart beyond the last beat
