Unique piece. With certificate of authenticity.

In this series of acrylics on canvas (to be stretched on a 100 × 100 cm frame), the tree becomes a symbol that transcends its landscape status to transform into a metaphor of memory, rootedness, and the capacity for regeneration. Isolated at the center of each composition, it emerges as a living presence that engages in dialogue with a space built through color planes, graphics, and ornamental references.
Far from a naturalistic representation, these works place nature in a hybrid territory where the organic coexists with the geometric and the decorative. The canopies, rendered with free, material gesture, contrast with backgrounds structured by chromatic fields and graphic motifs that evoke both ornamental tradition and contemporary visual language. This encounter between order and spontaneity generates a tension that gives the paintings a strong plastic energy.
Color plays an essential role in constructing meaning. The oranges, turquoises, blues, and magentas do not describe a specific place, but an inner landscape where emotion prevails over representation. Light seems to arise from the canvas itself, enveloping the vegetation in an atmosphere that oscillates between the real and the imagined.
The richness of textures, stacked layers, and gesture strokes reveals an open painting process, where each layer preserves the memory of the previous ones. The trees thus appear as organisms in permanent transformation, witnesses to the passage of time and metaphors of resilience. Their roots, barely suggested, contrast with the expansion of the canopies, reminding us that all growth requires a deep connection to its origin.
These compositions invite us to rethink our relationship with the landscape, not as an external setting, but as a reflection of our own experience. The tree ceases to be merely a pictorial motif and becomes a space for contemplation and encounter, where nature, culture, and memory are interwoven in a delicate balance. Each work offers a pause, a watchful gaze, and a reflection on the permanence of life in the face of ongoing change.

Aleix Albareda is an experienced Spanish painter with national exposure. His main focus is the figure and the landscape in a dreamlike world, achieved through an expressive style with acrylic paint. His overall artistic vision is filled with drama, relevance, and power.
