#19564 Mari Fe Romero Campo

The canvas presents a vibrant and densely layered composition dominated by shades of yellow and green. Here we observe what appears to be a field or meadow rendered in an expressive, almost chaotic style. The artist employed thick impasto strokes, creating a tactile surface that contributes significantly to the painting’s overall energy.
Individual forms are not sharply defined; instead, they coalesce into a unified mass of color and texture. Two prominent floral shapes emerge from this density, positioned towards the upper center and lower right quadrants. These blooms possess a layered quality, built up through successive applications of paint that suggest depth and volume. Their petals appear to swirl inward, creating a sense of dynamism despite their relative stillness within the scene.
The background is not depicted as a receding space but rather as an extension of the foreground’s textural complexity. Vertical strokes, predominantly in varying greens, punctuate the composition, evoking stems or foliage that further obscure any clear horizon line. This lack of spatial depth contributes to a feeling of immersion; the viewer seems enveloped within this field of color.
The palette is intensely optimistic and evokes feelings of warmth and vitality. The artist’s choice to prioritize texture over precise representation suggests an interest in capturing the essence of nature rather than its literal appearance. One might interpret the work as a celebration of growth, abundance, or perhaps even the ephemeral beauty of a fleeting moment in time. The dense layering could also be seen as symbolic of complexity and interconnectedness within natural systems.
The signature, located in the lower right corner, indicates a creation date of 1989, which places it firmly within a period marked by experimentation with expressive techniques and a move away from traditional representational approaches.
