\"1\"<\/a>\u00abI like paintings with light and sun; I don\u2019t like to highlight the shadows. I look for light, remoteness, the profundity, the air. If it is raining, or if it is Autumn, then I let my imagination fly\u00bb. This is Josep M\u00aa MEJAN<\/strong>, who on the occasion of this exhibition has returned from Llanars to Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e8s, where he lived some years ago.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a>Josep M\u00aa Cadena, as an art critic, discovers the intricacies of the \u201cMejan\u2019s mystery\u201d: \u00abMr. Josep M\u00aa Mejan, through colors and few lines, outlines the perimeter in which we move physically and mentally\u00bb. In fact, the landscape in itself does not exist: there are things \u2014fields, mountains, horizons\u2014 and, according to all this, we define the landscapes\u00bb..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a>Mr. Cadena continues with his words: \u00abHuman beings need to live with concepts. Mejan defines the concept of \u201clandscape\u201d. In fact, we see what we have in front of us, what is nearest to us. Later, we look at the distance: the horizon, the terrain. The combination of these elements leads us to the definition of the landscape, not as something we can touch, but makes us think, reflecting on our inner self\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a>Now is the speaking time for the painter Josep M\u00aa Mejan<\/strong>. He expresses his happiness for returning \u2014although only for one day\u2014 to Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e8s. Concerning his paintings, he said: \u00abI try to demonstrate what I feel. I do without anecdotes and details. Mine are not premeditated landscapes, but full of spontaneity.<\/div>\n
\"5\"<\/a>The explanations of the artist open the question about abstract art: \u2014\u00abYes, I believe that in my style there is a lot of abstraction. On the one hand, I would not like to \u201cfall\u201d into abstraction, but, on the other hand, I don\u2019t like my finished paintings to be like a \u201cd\u00e9j\u00e0 vu\u201d<\/em>. However, I like that in my paintings there is something to be recognized\u00bb.<\/div>\n
