Claudio Conde (XX) - Nocturno - XL

Nocturno – Painting on canvas, 100 x 70 cm.

The depiction shows a fawn emerging from the side to take the central axis of the composition, creating a direct and intense visual encounter with the viewer. The material richness of its coat, rendered in reddish and white tones, stood out boldly against a deep blue background that suggests a nocturnal and enveloping atmosphere. The proximity of purple flowers provides a chromatic counterpoint that balances the image and enhances the impression of intimacy and tenderness, producing a serene image that feels both present and poetically charged.

I am a visual artist with a primary focus on painting. My work concentrates on exploring color as language and as a means to build landscapes that arise in the mind but strive to take shape in physical reality. Each work is an attempt to translate feelings, memories, and inner atmosphere into tangible images, thereby building a bridge between the invisible and the visible. Color is the centerpiece of my research: I use it not only as an aesthetic element but also as a tool to open emotional and perceptual spaces.

The work is shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
