Description:

This work was born from a moment of inspiration in Barcelona, walking along Las Ramblas, one of those strolls where the city seems to whisper ideas in your ear. I entered an art shop that has always fascinated me and discovered pearlescent acrylic inks with extraordinary luminosity. Their transparent and mother-of-pearl reflections captivated me immediately, and I felt the need to experiment with them freely and intuitively.

I wanted to create a delicate and atmospheric painting, where light seemed to float over the surface. I worked with very soft glazes, letting the colors slowly blend into ethereal and velvety transparencies. The blueish, pinkish, and ivory tones dialog with each other calmly and elegantly, while the spontaneous lines made with pastel pencils and oil contribute movement, emotion, and an almost poetic character.

The mid-grain texture with gold pigments is one of the most special elements of the piece. The artwork subtly changes according to the daylight and the angle from which it is viewed: the golds vibrate, pearlescent glints appear, and the surface gains depth and a life of its own. I was precisely interested in that sense of a living painting, capable of transforming with the viewer's gaze.

During the process I deeply enjoyed creating this work. It was a piece produced entirely from intuition, the pleasure of discovering new materials, and the freedom to let myself be surprised by each layer and gesture. I believe that luminous and positive energy remains within the piece and is transmitted very naturally.

Unique work entirely handmade in my studio.
