Description
It is a creative work, it is not inspired by any real landscape, I usually run away from that method. If it is true that it has a story behind it, my visit to the Teide National Park and my admiration for what I found there, has served to create this forever memory of the experience I lived there. It also has a second meaning, like the meaning of the word in English, it is the feeling that all aquascapers have every year when we get down to work.

The structure of this aquarium in its frontal region generates some controversy for me. Both sides generate lines of very strong dynamics that direct the view towards the posterior region. However, in the central area, the lines present less dynamism and generate a certain sensation of a wall. Likewise, the cave is very relevant and leads the eye towards that region, generating a somewhat confusing sensation of two vanishing points. In my opinion, the cave is correct but it should be less illuminated to give a good detail to the aquarium but not become the center of attention.
In general terms, it is an aquarium with excellent plant care, whose structure raises certain doubts in my mind at a compositional level.

Bonus points for the creative approach. The textures of the plants and rockwork echoes textures I see in coral reefs. One of the most interesting and refreshing aquascapes in this category.
