Claudio Conde - Jarrón con olivos - XL

Vase with Olives – Painting on canvas, 100 x 70 cm.
"Vase with Olives" is a vibrant piece that catches the eye from the very first moment: a vase with a ceramic-inspired look, in whites and deep blues, supporting an explosion of delicate flowers that seem to open with naturalness and movement. The warm yellow background envelops the scene and enhances each color, creating a sense of light and energy that fills the space. Loose brushstrokes give it life and texture, making the work feel fresh and expressive. There is a balance between the decorative and the organic, between the calm of the vase and the vitality of the flowers. It is a work that conveys joy, elegance, and character.

I am a visual artist with a primary focus on painting. My work centers on the exploration of color as language and as a medium 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 interior 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.
