About this artwork
Prickly pear cacti (figues de pic in Ibizan dialect) were an integral part of Ibiza's traditional farmhouses and its entire landscape. And I say "were" because a plague of some unknown insect has wiped out almost all of them. The authorities have done nothing to preserve them because they claim it's an invasive plant. And it's true: prickly pear cacti arrived 500 years ago, brought by the conquistadors from Mexico; five hundred years later, and they…
still have the nerve to call it invasive.
These prickly pear cacti that you see in my painting no longer exist.

Augusto Banegas is a self-taught painter whose work defies categorization. In his youth, he wrote: "The worst evil for a people is their indifference to aesthetics." Now, many years later, he knows that there are other evils almost as disastrous as this one.
His paintings are a study of color in his landscapes and a jolt in his social painting.
