CORELLA, Spain — Spanish painter Antonio Fernandez Soler is leaving the modest accommodation that has been his home and studio for 31 years--a cave.
Local officials said Thursday that the 79-year-old artist has told them he would leave his tiny cave outside this small northern town for a studio in the Mediterranean resort of Marbella.
Soler came here in 1954 to decorate a house and stayed on to paint and tend animals in the cave.
He says now that a change of atmosphere is in order, the officials said.
