Description from the seller
Oil on canvas belonging to the contemporary Spanish school, 92 × 74 cm. The work does not include a frame.
The composition presents a suggestive still life with a clearly poetic character, where everyday objects —ceramics, a glass bottle, a plate with fruit— coexist with a bust of classical inspiration, placed on a floral tablecloth treated with broad and enveloping brushstrokes. The ensemble is articulated through a soft and luminous palette, dominated by pastel tones —blues, pinks, and greens— that bring harmony and an intimate atmosphere.
The quality of the chromatic work and the sensitivity in the treatment of textures stand out, especially in the fabric of the tablecloth and in the ceramic surfaces, resolved with restrained impastos and an expressive yet controlled brushstroke. The presence of the bust introduces a dialogue between the classical and the contemporary, enriching the conceptual reading of the work.
This is a balanced and elegant piece, representative of a contemporary figuration rooted in the Mediterranean, where tradition and modernity coexist naturally. In view of its size, pictorial quality, and refined aesthetics, it is a very attractive work for collectors as well as for its integration into exhibition or residential spaces.
