#47905 Albert Rafols Casamada

The composition presents a complex arrangement of rectangular and irregular forms, predominantly rendered in shades of green, blue, and yellow. These shapes are layered upon one another, creating a sense of depth and visual density. The artist has employed a palette knife technique evident in the thick impasto application of paint, which adds texture and physicality to the surface. Sharp edges define many of the blocks, while others blend subtly into their neighbors, generating an interplay between clarity and ambiguity.
A central area draws attention with a cluster of warmer tones – pinks, oranges, and yellows – that stand out against the cooler background. These colors are not uniformly distributed but appear in fragmented patches, contributing to a feeling of instability or disruption within the overall structure. The artist’s brushwork is assertive; strokes are visible and contribute to the dynamism of the piece.
The absence of recognizable figures or objects encourages an interpretation focused on formal elements – color, shape, and texture. One might perceive this as a representation of urban architecture, with the blocks suggesting buildings viewed from a distance, their details obscured by perspective and atmosphere. Alternatively, it could be understood as an exploration of spatial relationships, where the overlapping forms create a sense of enclosure or confinement.
The dark background serves to isolate the colored shapes, intensifying their impact and contributing to a mood that is both contemplative and slightly unsettling. The signature in the lower right corner suggests a personal touch, anchoring the work within the realm of individual expression. Overall, the painting conveys a feeling of fragmented experience, suggesting a world perceived through layers of perception and memory.
