Fire red, deep flame orange, bright cobalt, and the gold of sparks against a night sky — the colours of a Valencian festival that ends in spectacular combustion.
Las Fallas takes place in Valencia each March around the feast of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters. For months, artists and neighbourhoods construct enormous papier-mâché figures — ninots — some reaching five storeys high, satirising politicians, celebrities, and the events of the year. On the final night, La Cremà, almost all of them are burned. The palette is defined by fire: the deep red of the base flame, the bright orange of the middle, the gold and white of the tips, the electric blue of the fireworks (mascletàs) that fill the air throughout the festival. It is a palette of creation and destruction held in the same moment.
