Josep Pomes Abella (1940) - Casas

Catalan rural landscape

Oil on canvas depicting a rural Mediterranean landscape, characterized by houses with tile roofs, hillside vegetation, and a wide and bright view of the countryside. The composition is built through a textured and confident brushstroke, with a balanced use of color that conveys the warm light and the atmosphere typical of the Catalan landscape.

The work belongs to the tradition of Catalan landscape painting of the mid-20th century, where direct observation of the territory and rural life combines with a modern painterly sensibility, attentive to the structure of the composition and to color rendering more than to descriptive detail. The result is a painting with a strong visual presence, capable of conveying authenticity and a sense of place.

Josep Pomès Abella, born in Catalonia in 1940, is a painter active in figurative and landscape painting, with particular attention to the territory and the light of the Mediterranean. His work develops along the line of the Catalan painting tradition, reinterpreted in a personal key through expressive brushwork and a direct vision of nature and rural architecture.

Postwar-generation artist Pomès Abella belongs to that group of artists who kept alive easel painting and the relationship with the landscape, in a period marked by profound artistic transformations, choosing a coherent path, linked to observation and chromatic sensitivity.
