Alejandro Valdes - Geometría Contemporánea XIV - XL

Abstract Geometric Composition | Acrylic on canvas

This original work presents a composition based on the interaction of geometric volumes and color planes that create a marked sense of depth and balance. The overlapping of cubes and prisms generates a visual architecture where perspective and color become the true protagonists.

The color palette combines reds, browns, and greens, achieving an elegant and contemporary contrast. The precision of the lines, the cleanliness of the surfaces, and the control of proportions reflect careful technical execution, contributing a minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic.

The work invites the viewer to interpret space from an abstract perspective, establishing a dialogue between geometry, light, and compositional balance. Its timeless visual language allows it to fit both contemporary art collections and interiors of design, architecture, or spaces of modern inspiration.

It is a piece with a strong visual presence, ideal for those who value geometric abstraction and contemporary art with refined lines.
