#19620 Marcelo Fuentes

The composition presents a layered structure, seemingly architectural in nature, rendered with a muted palette dominated by ochre, amber, and dusky grey tones. The artist has employed broad brushstrokes and washes, creating a sense of fluidity and atmospheric perspective rather than precise detail. Here we see a series of horizontal planes stacked upon one another, their edges softened and blurred, suggesting a deliberate avoidance of sharp definition.
The arrangement evokes the feeling of an abstracted urban landscape or perhaps a stylized representation of terraces or balconies. The lack of clear spatial cues – no horizon line, no discernible ground plane – contributes to a sense of ambiguity; the structure appears suspended in an undefined space. Light seems to emanate from within the forms themselves, rather than being directed by an external source, further flattening the depth and emphasizing the interplay of color and tone.
The limited tonal range creates a somber mood, tinged with melancholy. The repetition of horizontal lines reinforces this feeling of stillness and quietude. Subtly, there’s a suggestion of enclosure or containment; the stacked planes could be interpreted as barriers or walls, hinting at themes of isolation or introspection. While the forms are recognizable as architectural elements, their abstraction allows for multiple interpretations – they might represent not just physical structures but also psychological states or emotional landscapes. The overall effect is one of contemplative observation, inviting the viewer to project their own meaning onto the ambiguous form.
