These ten pastel drawings were inspired by the experiences Phillip's great, great uncle, Hilario (pronounced ee LAHR ee o), documented in original cartoons and letters while imprisoned during the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939). Rather than repeat Hilario's process of recording the actual events through cartoons, the approach of these images was to create traditional drawings depicting the emotional and psychological turmoil he endured at the time.
