This painting presents a vibrant composition where the landscape seems to break down into fragments of color, creating a dynamic and deeply rhythmic atmosphere. At first glance, the work suggests the presence of tall, stylized trees whose light trunks rise vertically, standing out against the multicolored mosaic that surrounds them. The scene conveys the feeling of a vibrant forest, filtered through a perspective that does not attempt to reproduce reality as it is, but rather interprets it through chromatic blocks that build a unique visual universe. Each rectangular brushstroke becomes a living unit that actively participates in constructing the whole.
As the eye moves across the pictorial surface, a constant play emerges between the verticality of the trunks and the fragmented horizontality of the surrounding color. Greens and yellows predominate in the upper and middle parts, evoking the light passing through the foliage and the changing reflections of the sun on the leaves. Interspersed with these tones are touches of red, orange, and pink that suggest the presence of autumn leaves or warm hues typical of a transforming forest. This alternation of colors creates a marked visual rhythm, almost musical, that brings energy to the work.
The trunks, represented by white and bluish lines, bring stability to the composition and create a clear structure within the overall dynamism. Their height suggests depth and verticality, as if we were observing a narrow, ascending forest. The contrast between their cool tones and the warmth of the chromatic environment enhances the sense of space and light. These elongated forms act as pauses within the chromatic vibration, allowing the eye to breathe between bursts of color.
The lower areas of the frame become denser and deeper, with the addition of browns, ochres, and blacks that add solidity to the landscape. These tones, applied in rectangular fragments, create an earthy base that anchors the scene and emphasizes the impression of walking on a leaf-covered ground. The color seems to accumulate, as if the forest grows not only in height but also in thickness and texture. Each chromatic block provides a tactile sensation, reminiscent of the irregularity of natural terrain and the weight of foliage.
Overall, this painting conveys a luminous and modern interpretation of the landscape, transforming a forest into a symphony of color, rhythm, and movement. The work evokes a vibrant, changing nature full of nuances, where light and shadows fragment into abstract shapes that turn the scene into an intense and deeply sensory visual experience.
