#12786 Rafael Boti

The composition presents a landscape dominated by abstracted forms and a fragmented perspective. In the foreground, a series of undulating shapes, rendered in muted browns, purples, and greens, suggest a terrain – perhaps a hillside or rocky outcrop. These forms are not realistically depicted; instead, they appear as simplified volumes, creating a sense of dynamism through their overlapping and angularity. A pale blue-green plane extends from the lower left corner, hinting at a body of water or a flattened expanse of land.
Behind this foreground, a cluster of buildings occupies the middle ground. The structures are similarly abstracted, with roofs rendered as geometric planes in shades of red, orange, and brown. Their forms appear somewhat blocky and detached, lacking any sense of architectural detail. A few sparse trees punctuate the scene, their shapes reduced to dark, vertical strokes.
The background is defined by a hazy, pale sky that merges subtly with the distant landscape. The overall color palette is restrained, relying on earthy tones punctuated by occasional bursts of brighter hues. This limited range contributes to a sense of quietude and introspection.
Subtly, theres an impression of displacement or disruption. The fractured forms and flattened perspective deny any traditional depth or spatial coherence. It’s not merely a depiction of a place; it seems more concerned with conveying a feeling – perhaps one of alienation or the subjective experience of landscape. The buildings, while present, are devoid of human activity, contributing to an atmosphere of stillness and isolation. The artists choice to deconstruct recognizable forms suggests an interest in exploring the underlying structures of perception rather than simply representing external reality.
