Esther Cela - La hora del baile

Original work in a contemporary naïve style that depicts a festive scene in a seaside town. The composition centers on a group of people dancing on the beach to the rhythm of a street musician, turning music and movement into the emotional axis of the scene.

The facades in soft colors facing the sea create a bright and welcoming Mediterranean atmosphere, where everyday life becomes a spontaneous celebration. The scene conveys simplicity, closeness, and the joy of sharing common moments that become lasting memories.

Recurring symbolic elements in the artist's work, such as the festive banners and the clock on the main facade, reinforce the conceptual reading of the piece. The clock alludes to the passage of time and to the fleeting nature of those happy moments that are lived almost without realizing it, while the banners evoke community, gathering, and collective celebration.

The presence of the musician and of children and adults who approach the stage creates an open narrative where spectators and participants coexist, inviting the observer to feel part of the moment.

The work lies within contemporary figurative art with a personal naïve language, highlighting everyday life, togetherness, and the beauty of the small social rituals shared by the sea.
