Manuel Virella (1944) - Chanson de printemps

- Oil on panel. Signed and dated.

- This spring scene is a testament to the talent of Cádiz-born artist Manuel Virella, whose brushwork here moves away from stillness to become a living organism. In this work, Virella unfolds a vibrant, generous oil texture, where the almost sculptural impasto builds light through relief, allowing color not only to be seen but to be felt as an organic matter that throbs on the canvas.

The focus of the composition lies in that springtime sensation that caresses the senses; the viewer can almost perceive the scent of lavender and the freshness of the undergrowth. Through an amalgam of purples, violets, and emerald greens, Virella captures the precise instant when the sun filters through the trunks of trees, exploding into small sparks of light that seem to dance across the floral mantle. It is a painting of enormous emotional charge that celebrates nature’s renewal, reaffirming the Cádiz master as a renewer of the landscape capable of giving light a tangible physicality.

- Image dimensions without frame: 46 x 38 cm / 67 x 59 cm with exclusive custom Rococo-style frame.
