AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: The Love
School: Contemporary Catalan School, 20th century
Author: Isabel Ramoneda Violan (Barcelona, 1960)
Style: Contemporary Symbolism with Secession influence and expressionist brushwork
Technique: Oil on panel
Circle and artistic influences:
Work linked to the realm of contemporary Catalan painting from the late 20th century. The predominance of gold, the allegorical conception of the image and its ornamental character clearly refer to Gustav Klimt and the Viennese Secession, reinterpreted from an intimate and expressionist sensibility. The inscription dedicated to the Austrian painter reinforces its nature as an artistic homage, without implying belonging to his historical circle.
Vertical composition of poetic and symbolic character, dominated by a broad surface in ochre and golden tones. At the top, a white open rose stands out, built with loose and tactile brushstrokes, which constitutes the main luminous and emotional focal point of the work.
The flower is accompanied by dark and earthy gestural forms, creating an intense contrast with the warmth of the background. Its isolation within the composition allows interpreting it as a symbol of love, purity, and the fragility of feelings. The inscriptions located in the lower area provide a conceptual dimension and reinforce the relation of the work with the decorative and symbolic universe of Gustav Klimt.
About the author:
Isabel Ramoneda Violan, born in Barcelona in 1960, is a contemporary Catalan artist. In this work one can see her interest in symbolic representation, gestural brushwork, and the expressive use of color, building an essential image with a marked emotional charge.
Certification:
The work is accompanied by an authenticity certificate from American Prints, stating the author’s name and her participation in the 14th edition of the Supermercado de Arte, held between December 1997 and January 1998.
Measurements:
36 × 24 cm.
Observations:
The work may incur damage during transport even with proper packaging. If so, we will require photographs of the damages to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge due to being outside a continental territory, excessive size, or weight of the item. PremiArt in no case will cover this surcharge.
The courier that must pass through the Swiss border can experience delays much longer than normal, so, if possible to speed up processing, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so the customer can unblock it and reach its destination. Experience has taught us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.
Due to the high volume of shipments, the order may be delayed more than three days, so we apologize and thank you for your patience. Any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging.
