For a nativity scene enthusiast, fifteen years without setting up a crib can seem like a long time. Ever since early September, painter Florencio Aguilera has been as busy as a bee in his workshop. Despite the efforts, placing the nativity scene figurines as a family is one of the most endearing and nostalgic moments of the festive season, and an especially fun activity for the little ones.
Each of Florencio¿s brushstrokes recreate the iconography of the birth of Jesus Christ, an exaltation of rural culture and the pastoral world. The nativity scene at the Estudio Museo de Ayamonte, measuring around 40 square metres and featuring close to one hundred figurines, will remain open to the public until Three Kings' Day.
