#36381 Francisco Lorenzo Tardon

The composition presents a fragmented and dreamlike scene dominated by cool violet and blue hues, punctuated by bursts of ochre and white. The artist has divided the canvas into three distinct panels, each contributing to a sense of disjointed narrative.
In the central panel, a horse is depicted in profile, its form rendered with broad, gestural brushstrokes that suggest movement and energy. The animal appears almost spectral, bathed in an ethereal light. Its posture conveys a mixture of defiance and vulnerability; it seems poised between flight and surrender.
To the left of the equine figure, a complex assemblage of forms emerges – a chaotic jumble of what appear to be mechanical components or architectural fragments. These elements are rendered with a similar expressive brushwork as the horse, but their sharp angles and fragmented nature create a sense of tension and instability. The color palette here is more vibrant, incorporating orange and yellow that contrast sharply with the prevailing cool tones.
The panel on the right presents an even more abstract arrangement. Here we see swirling forms and what might be interpreted as a stylized representation of a human figure or perhaps a symbolic gesture. A single, thin line cuts across this section, adding to the overall feeling of disorientation.
The painting’s subtexts seem to revolve around themes of conflict, fragmentation, and the interplay between natural and artificial elements. The horse, often associated with freedom and power, is placed within a context that suggests constraint or disruption. The mechanical forms could be interpreted as symbols of industrialization or technological advancement, juxtaposed against the organic form of the animal.
The division into panels reinforces this sense of fragmentation, suggesting a narrative broken apart or experienced through multiple perspectives. The overall effect is one of unsettling beauty – a dreamscape where familiar forms are distorted and reconfigured to create a powerful emotional resonance.
