Valdi - Antes del encuentro - XL

Before the meeting

Before the meeting, this moment particular is portrayed: everything seems prepared, but something is still about to happen. A woman sits with her back to the garden, while beside her an empty chair silently introduces the presence of someone who has not yet arrived.

The scene is built from an intense relationship of colors: the bright yellow of the sky, the red of the dress, the violets and greens of the garden, and the deep blue of the curtain. Above them, the small moon appears as a silent presence that places the scene in a time almost suspended.

The empty chair thus becomes an essential part of the work. More than an absence, it suggests a possibility: a date, a pending conversation, a awaited arrival. The female figure does not reveal her face, and that lack of information leaves the story open, allowing us to imagine what will happen next.

With direct figurative language and a vibrant palette, Valdi transforms a daily moment into a scene charged with expectancy. Before the meeting speaks precisely of that brief space between waiting and what is about to begin.
