Original Praying Hands in Violet, Large Spanish Expressionist Figurative Artwork

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Praying Hands in Violet, Large Spanish Expressionist Figurative Artwork Artist: Vicent Calbet Riera (Spanish, 1940–1994) Title: Praying Hands (Descriptive Title) Date: 1993 Medium: Mixed media on paper, oil painting and watercolor Dimensions: 98 × 68 cm / 38.6 × 26.8 in Framed Dimensions: 120 × 90 cm / 47.2 × 35.4 in Signature: Hand-signed and dated by the artist in the upper right corner Framed: Yes, presented in an elegant black frame with gold detailing and black mat Condition: Very good condition Style: Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Figurative Expressionism Period: Late 20th Century Origin: Spain, Ibiza, Balearic Islands Subject: Praying hands, spirituality, human expression, emotion Exceptional large-scale expressionist painting by Vicent Calbet Riera (1940–1994), one of the most significant figures in the development of contemporary art in Ibiza, Spain. Created in 1993, just one year before the artist's death, this striking original mixed-media composition belongs to the final and mature period of his artistic career. The painting depicts two monumental hands joined in an evocative gesture of prayer, contemplation, or spiritual devotion. Executed in a powerful combination of oil and watercolor, the composition merges expressive figuration with lyrical abstraction, creating a deeply emotional visual experience. At the center of the painting, the hands emerge from an atmospheric violet background, their forms defined by fiery shades of orange, vermilion, crimson, and brilliant yellow. Energetic touches of turquoise blue, white, and charcoal black introduce movement, contrast, and remarkable visual intensity. The artist's sophisticated handling of different media is particularly compelling. Thick, expressive applications of oil emphasize the hands, giving them an almost sculptural presence, while the watercolor background produces a soft, atmospheric field of purples and blues. This extraordinary interplay between materiality and transparency creates a fascinating tension between the physical and the spiritual, the tangible and the intangible. The hands appear to rise from the composition, transforming a recognizable human gesture into a universal symbol of hope, vulnerability, meditation, and transcendence. Rather than pursuing traditional anatomical realism, Calbet dissolves the boundaries of the human form through vigorous brushwork, gestural abstraction, and an exceptionally expressive use of color. The resulting image possesses an almost mystical quality, encouraging viewers to discover their own emotional and symbolic interpretations. The painting exemplifies the mature artistic language of Vicent Calbet, whose work progressively evolved from figurative representation toward a highly personal synthesis of expressive gesture, abstraction, color, and psychological intensity. Its creation in 1993 is particularly noteworthy. That same year, the artist was the subject of an important retrospective exhibition, *Vicent Calbet. Trenta anys de pintura*, organized in Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca, celebrating three decades of artistic production. Measuring an impressive 98 × 68 cm (38.6 × 26.8 inches), the original painting has a commanding vertical presence. Its elegant black and gold frame brings the overall dimensions to 120 × 90 cm (47.2 × 35.4 inches), making it an outstanding statement piece for sophisticated contemporary interiors. The remarkable combination of vibrant color, emotional expression, and spiritual symbolism makes this original Spanish painting...

Original Abstract Oil Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs

With original abstract oil paintings, bring audacious experiments with color and textures to your living room, dining room or home office.

Whether they're large or small, abstract paintings will stand out in your space, encouraging conversation and introducing a museum-like atmosphere that’s welcoming and conducive to creating memorable gatherings.

Abstract art has origins in 19th-century Europe, but it came into its own as a significant movement during the 20th century. Early practitioners of abstraction included Wassily Kandinsky, although painters were exploring nonfigurative art prior to the influential Russian artist’s efforts, which were inspired by music and religion. Abstract painters endeavored to create works that didn’t focus on the outside world’s conventional subjects, and even when artists depicted realistic subjects, they worked in an abstract mode to do so.

In 1940s-era New York City, a group of painters working in the abstract mode created radical work that looked to European avant-garde artists as well as to the art of ancient cultures, prioritizing improvisation, immediacy and direct personal expression. While they were never formally affiliated with one another, we know them today as Abstract Expressionists.

The male contingent of the Abstract Expressionists, which includes Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, is frequently cited in discussing leading figures of this internationally influential postwar art movement. However, the women of Abstract Expressionism, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and others, were equally involved in the art world of the time. Sexism, family obligations and societal pressures contributed to a long history of their being overlooked, but the female Abstract Expressionists experimented vigorously, developed their own style and produced significant bodies of work.

When you've found the work(s) you'd like to bring into your home, think about how you want to arrange the art. If you’re working with a small living space, a colorful, oversize work can create depth in a given room, but there isn’t any need to overwhelm your interior with a sprawling pièce de résistance. Colorful abstractions of any size can pop against a white wall in your living room, but if you’re working with a colored backdrop, you may wish to stick to colors that complement the decor that is already in the space. Alternatively, let your painting make a statement on its own, regardless of its surroundings, or group it, gallery-style, with other works.

On 1stDibs, you’ll find a wide range of original abstract oil paintings along with a guide on how to arrange your wonderful new wall art.
