Bodegón con uvas, oil painting, 52 × 45 cm, Spain, signed, original, from 1970–1980, sold with frame by Galería.
Description from the seller
A meticulously executed oil painting depicting a classic still life: a bunch of grapes arranged on a plate and a ceramic jug, set against a dark, neutral background. The work stands out for its balanced composition and its delicate handling of light, which shapes the volumes with subtlety and gives tactile presence to the depicted objects.
The painter demonstrates a solid mastery of the genre, especially in the recreation of textures—the translucent skin of the grapes, the matte surface of the ceramics—and in the chromatic harmony, based on a restrained palette of greens, ochres, and purplish tones. The brushwork is controlled and precise, faithful to the tradition of Spanish still life, reinterpreted from a sensibility characteristic of the twentieth century.
Representative work demonstrating the continuity of the still life genre within the contemporary Spanish school, appreciated by collectors for both its technical quality and its timeless and decorative character.
