Lot description.

Work, part of the series: “Viento en popa…” where I combine abstract style with the composition of marine themes. A formal investigation that seeks atmospheres and compositions that allow me to merge gestural experimentation with realistic detail, uncovering a more evocative and all-encompassing pictorial experience.
