About the Item

Title: Street Musicians Artist: Albert Roca i Cama (Palamós, 1945 – 2023) Technique: Oil on canvas board Dimensions: 71 x 51 cm (27.95 x 20.08 in) Support: Canvas board Signature: Signed in the lower right corner as “214 Roca” Approximate date: Late 20th – early 21st century Condition: Very good Framing: Unframed Description of the work: The painting depicts two street musicians in a profoundly expressive scene. In the foreground, a man rests his arm on an accordion, his gaze lost in thought and a contemplative expression on his face, while holding a straw or toothpick between his lips. Behind him, another figure plays a transverse flute with closed eyes, fully immersed in his music. The composition conveys serenity and weariness, presenting an intimate moment imbued with urban lyricism. The brushwork is loose yet confident, reinforcing the emotional depth of the characters. The color palette blends warm tones with hints of grey and blue, emphasizing the introspective and street-like atmosphere. The overall impression is of a moment suspended in time, where music and life intertwine in the silent dignity of their expressions. Artist biography: Albert Roca i Cama was born in Palamós in 1945 and passed away in 2023. He was a Catalan painter associated with expressive realism, known for his energetic strokes and mastery of color. From an early age, he showed artistic inclination and worked in Barcelona alongside comic artist García Iranzo. He developed a wide-ranging exhibition career both in Spain and abroad, earning awards in various countries. Roca was a highly active figure in his hometown, where he taught painting for over twenty years and collaborated with cultural and social institutions. His work portrays everyday scenes and human figures with a strong emotional presence, always seeking the humanity of his subjects. Among his most notable works are Acordionista amb amics, Pensaments, and L’hora del descans. Similar artists: Due to his human and expressive approach, Albert Roca’s work can be associated with: Honoré Daumier, for his empathetic vision of the working class George Grosz, for his expressive and direct line Isidre Nonell, for his sensitivity towards marginalized figures José Gutiérrez Solana, for his somber expressionism Joaquim Sunyer, for his emotional and Mediterranean figuration
