Description from the seller
Magnificent painting by the renowned painter Manuel Machí (1937), a contemporary artist whose work is characterized by a careful figurative sensibility and a remarkable mastery in the handling of light and color.
The composition portrays a delicate genre-scene of great emotional impact, where several female figures and children gather in a natural setting, evoking traditional values, family intimacy, and a serene and warm atmosphere. The artist demonstrates excellent technical mastery through a loose and assured brushstroke, with a clearly contemporary Impressionist influence, capable of capturing the spontaneity of the moment and conveying dynamism without losing formal precision.
It highlights the chromatic harmony especially, with a palette rich in luminous nuances and subtle contrasts that add depth and sensitivity to the scene. The painterly quality is evident in the modeling of the figures, the expressiveness of the gestures, and the atmospheric treatment of the background landscape.
The work is presented in a luxurious frame, with strong decorative presence, which noticeably enhances the piece and renders it an elegant ensemble ready for display.
A painting with great visual appeal and excellent craftsmanship, ideal for both collectors of contemporary figurative art and those seeking a representative piece of modern Spanish painting with a strong aesthetic and narrative character.
