Lara Gombau is an artist from Les Casas who specializes in painting. The project “Remendadores d'un poble minut” arises from the need to appreciate the fundamental role of the fisherwomen, who not only carried the reins of the house but, among the many daily tasks, also repaired the fishing nets by sitting on the typical bova chairs as they chatted in the cool of the street.

When Lara was young, fishing was one of the city's main economic drivers. Back then, it was common to find the repair machines at the foot of the street, on the doorpost of their house or in the same fishing port next to the boats, an indelible impression in their memories.

Unfortunately, with the reduction of the fishing fleet and the emergence of smaller fishing villages, customs and folk crafts associated with traditional fishing have been lost. With the intention of not letting this memory be forgotten, he started this image project a few years ago, which he was finally able to implement thanks to the support of the Association of Neighbors of the Houses to the owners who had ceded the walls as well as to the resources and logistics provided by the Youth Department of the Alcanar City Council.

Lara Gombau explains that this mural, about fifteen meters high and ten meters wide, was created in record time “thanks to the great help of my partner LaPiNXe and the official reporter Carolina Rovira, who documented the entire process during the five days of intense work”.

In addition to the large-format work “Remendadores d'un poble minuteut”, he also created a small annex mural, “The Net Fisherman”, with which he united the past and the present in the same room and at the same time evoked the origins and at the same time predicted a future that was not forgets where she comes from.

Today, the Casas d'Alcanar showcase three works of urban art: the mural “Lo Poble” in Plaça del Barranc and the recent additions “Remendadores d'un poble menut” and “El net pescador” in the Hort Adell parking lot.

What is remarkable is the good reception by the residents of Les Casas, who have made it their own and believe they recognize the figure of a relative. “The painting of the Flicker has already become ‘everyone’s grandmother.’ My most sincere thanks go to all the people in Les Cases, because it is the best recognition I could have received as an artist,” adds Gombau.

Meritxell Ulldemolins, city councilor for youth, also praised the artist's work: "Lara Gombau has given the people of Les Casas and the entire community a great artistic gift." The city council thanks him for his commitment and encourages him to continue his artistic career, which will certainly receive many more recognitions.”
