#10 Ministerio de Instrucción Pública, Colonia no 10, Elda (Alicante). [Miaja A symbol of Spanish liberties. Enrique Dieryma].

Bold blocks of red and blue frame a stark, expressive portrait, turning the sheet into something that feels both like a poster and a personal tribute. The sitter—rendered with strong lines, round spectacles, and a steady, unsmiling gaze—dominates the center, while the hand-drawn border gives the work a purposeful, almost institutional formality. Even without a detailed backdrop, the composition signals authority and public meaning rather than private likeness.

Beneath the portrait, the inscription “MIAJA” and the phrase “Un símbolo de las libertades españolas” anchor the piece in the language of civic ideals and political memory. A visible stamp reading “Ministerio de Instrucción Pública” and “Colonia no 10, Elda (Alicante)” ties the artwork to an educational or administrative context, suggesting it circulated through official channels or was created within a structured setting. The credited name “Enrique Dieryma” adds another layer, pointing to authorship and the human hand behind this carefully composed statement.

For readers searching the history of Elda (Alicante) or the material culture associated with Spain’s public institutions, this image offers a compelling artifact: part portrait, part slogan, part document. Its graphic style and handwritten elements evoke the urgency of persuasion, where art serves as testimony and a call to remember. As a WordPress feature, it stands out not only as an artwork, but as a fragment of how “Spanish liberties” were narrated, stamped, and visually framed for an audience beyond the page.
