Vives Maristany (XX) - "Like a Dying Ember"

- Oil on cardboard. Scratched signature on the painting.

- The rose does not sleep; it fades like a ember in the ashes. Its edges, which once burned with a vivid carmine, are now slowly carbonizing, turning black, crispy and brittle. All the heat hides in the center of the chalice, leaving behind twisted petals that fall with the dead weight of extinguished coal. It no longer smells like a garden, but like something dense, almost smoky: the trace of a beauty that spent all its fuel and now, in its last breath, yields to the cold of the shadows.

- Unframed image dimensions: 36 x 55 cm / 51 x 70 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence and, therefore, every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity.

Thus, we guarantee that every artwork leaving our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as its author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the piece purchased. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

We are committed to the satisfaction and trust of our clients, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transportation market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with the shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Accordingly, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as valid grounds for opening a claim or requesting a cancellation.
