Description from the seller
A. de León
Signed and dated oil painting. Dimensions: 73 × 86 cm.
The artwork includes a frame, which will be sent as a gift with the piece.
A suggestive seascape signed and dated by A. de León, in which the artist demonstrates a remarkable mastery of atmosphere, light, and tonal nuances. The composition unfolds from a broad maritime horizon, dominated by a sky of dense and dynamic clouds that lend depth, movement, and a pronounced expressive charge to the scene.
The color palette, based on blues, grays, and soft ochre tones, is rendered with a loose, well-modulated brushstroke, capable of conveying the sense of humidity, wind, and the expansive quality typical of the coastal landscape. The treatment of the sky, the absolute protagonist of the work, reveals a clear sense of landscape sensitivity and careful observation of atmospheric phenomena.
It is a balanced and evocative painting, with a serene yet intense character, that connects with the tradition of European modern landscape painting of the 20th century, where the emotion of the natural surroundings prevails over descriptive detail. An especially attractive work for collectors of landscape painting and for spaces seeking a piece with strong visual presence and a contemplative character.
The painting is presented framed, with the frame included at no additional cost, ready for display.
