Claudio Conde - Jarrón con peces - XL

Jarrón con peces – Painting on canvas, 100 x 70 cm.
In “Jarrón con peces”, the stillness of a vase is transformed into a small contained universe: against an intensely red, almost vibrant background, the vase decorated with fish figures that seem to glide in a silent movement, as if the water still inhabited its interior. Above, a burst of white flowers with golden centers erupts lightly, contrasting with the solidity of the vessel. The work balances the static and the living, the ornamental and the organic, suggesting that even in the most motionless objects a secret current of life persists.

I am a visual artist with a primary focus on painting. My work centers on exploring color as 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 ships with a certificate of authenticity.
