Claudio Conde - Rojo profundo - XL

Deep Red – Painting on canvas, 100 x 70 cm.
The work presents an intense and dynamic composition dominated by a vibrant red background that fills the entire pictorial space. Against this background, three large fish stand out, portrayed with bright colors and expressive brushstrokes that highlight the texture and movement of their bodies. The fish appear oriented toward the center of the scene, as if they were interacting or meeting at a single point in the water. The strong contrast between the red of the background and the cool, luminous tones of the fish creates a powerful image full of visual energy. The work conveys a sense of depth and marine vitality, where color becomes the main element to express movement, intensity, and the power of the underwater world.

I am a visual artist with painting as my main focus. My work centers on exploring color as a language and as a means to build landscapes that are born in the mind but seek to materialize in physical reality. Each work is an attempt to translate sensations, memories, and inner atmospheres into tangible images, creating a bridge between the intangible and the visible. Color is the axis of my research: I use it not only as an aesthetic element but as a tool to open emotional and perceptual spaces.

The work is sent with a certificate of authenticity.
