THE WORK:
This diptych plunges into the tranquil beauty of the seashore, dividing the scene into two vertical panels that complement each other harmoniously. The green stones emerge from the sand, as if trying to reach the water in a poetic and futile gesture. The arrangement of these stones creates a sense of movement and dynamism, despite their apparent stillness. The cool color palette dominates this work, with blue-green hues that capture the fresh and serene essence of the coastal environment. Light plays a crucial role, highlighting the contours of the stones and adding warm nuances in the illuminated areas, thus creating a balance between the coolness of the surroundings and the warmth of sunlight.
The sea is calm, with the water slipping slowly toward the shore. This representation conveys a sense of peace and relaxation.
Together, this diptych captures the timeless and relaxing essence of the seashore, offering a visual refuge where the viewer can lose themselves and find serenity.
The work is in good conservation condition. The two pieces are joined and framed with a light-colored painted wooden beading.
The work includes a certificate of authenticity with a photograph of the artwork, dated and hand-signed by the artist.

Seller's Story
Juan Álvarez Cebrián, a Spanish painter with a long career. His work is based on figurative and realist styles and also touches on abstract art. He currently lives and works on the outskirts of Madrid. A passionate advocate of drawing. His themes are varied; he does not like to be pigeonholed into a single subject. He works with the figure, landscape, nature subjects, even surrealism. A staunch defender of good technique in art, he has studied the great masters and, for that reason, was a copyist of works at the Prado Museum in Madrid for a few years.
