This is the second version that Moraga painted of the work. The first one was created in 2016 using parts of an real guitar. The support of this work was wood.
In this 2020 version on canvas, Moraga has reproduced the guitar that Josep Puigmarti painted for Paco de Lucia. This guitar was used by the great guitarist in one of his performances.
In the work we can see sheet music papers adhered to the surface of the canvas as a collage. We also find rust stains throughout the composition. Rust is one of the resources that Moraga always uses in his creations.
The title of the painting, Entre dos aguas, refers to the famous musical theme composed by Paco de Lucia. The work was born as a result of the admiration that Moraga feels for the renowned guitarist.
