Torres de Torres (XX) - Port de la selva (x2)

Title: Port de la Selva

School: Spanish, 20th century

Author: Torres de Torres

Style: Impressionist

Technique: Oil on panel

This set comprises two oil paintings on panel by the artist Torres de Torres, created in 1987. Both depict the coastline of Port de la Selva, one of the most distinctive locations on the Costa Brava. The painter's gaze focuses on the interplay between the mountainous landscape and the shoreline, creating a luminous and soft atmosphere characteristic of the Impressionist style that defines his work.

Painting 1 (large format) presents a sweeping panoramic view of the bay, where the sea occupies the lower half of the composition with loose, vibrant brushstrokes. The typical white houses of the village are visible along the coastline, while in the background, mountains in shades of ochre and green rise, adding depth. The diffused light and reflections on the water reinforce the feeling of maritime calm.

Painting 2 (smaller format) focuses on the town near the beach, showing the curve of the coastline and the waves gently lapping the sand. The mountains, closer and more defined, frame the landscape and lend character to the scene. The brushwork, again dynamic and nuanced, reveals the artist's interest in capturing the ever-changing atmosphere of the natural environment.
