Claudio Conde - La tarde - XL

The afternoon – Painting on canvas, 90 x 70 cm.
The work depicts the strength and calm of the coastal landscape in a moment of intense light and deep atmosphere. The lighthouse rises as a symbol of guidance and permanence against the restless movement of the sea, while the warm-toned structures contrast with the enveloping blue of the sky and the ocean. The dynamic brushstrokes of the waves bring energy and movement to the scene, creating a work that evokes the melancholic serenity and the silent beauty of life by the sea.

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 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 shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
