About the Item
"Bicicletas" (Bicycles). Oil on panel, by contemporary artist Ana Perpinyá (Barcelona 1965).
Dimensions: 195 x 122 x 0.5 cm. Framed: 220 x 148 x 6.5 cm
In inches: 76.77" x 48.03" x 0.2". Framed: 86.61" x 58.27" x 2.56".
Signed in the lower right corner.
In "Bicicletas", Ana Perpinyá immerses us in a seemingly ordinary yet symbolically rich scene: a pile of bicycles, either abandoned or awaiting a new life. The oil-on-panel technique provides a richness of texture and depth of color that enhances the realism while maintaining a poetic aura characteristic of her style.
The bicycles, rendered with loose yet precise brushstrokes, intertwine and overlap like collective childhood memories—objects frozen in time that evoke movement, play, and freedom. The light falls highlighting the reds, oranges, and purples of the frames and tires, while the background recedes into darker shadows, creating a powerful visual and emotional contrast.
Perpinyá doesn’t merely depict objects; she invites us to reflect on the passage of time and abandonment, all while suggesting beauty in what is accumulated and imperfect.
This large-format work commands presence and makes a striking focal point in any space, encouraging thoughtful contemplation and multiple interpretations.
(The photos were taken in natural light, and it was impossible to avoid a slight reflection in the black background on the right side.)
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ana Perpinyà (Barcelona, 1965) is a contemporary Catalan artist known for her distinctive figurative painting style. From an early age, she demonstrated a strong artistic talent—creating portraits at just 13 years old and receiving commissions from private clients and magazines during her teenage years in Sant Cugat del Vallès.
She received formal training at the Llotja School of Art and the Massana School in Barcelona, where she built a solid academic foundation that has influenced her unique style.
Throughout her career, Perpinyà has exhibited her work across Europe, including in Germany, Amsterdam, London, France, and Portugal, as well as in the United States, in cities such as Miami, Atlanta, and others in Florida. In Spain, her exhibitions have taken place in Madrid, Granada, Málaga, Marbella, Vitoria, Castellón, and Barcelona. Her work has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and catalogs, and she has contributed to television, radio, and journalism through illustrations and appearances.
Perpinyà is dedicated exclusively to painting, working primarily in oil on canvas. Her work reflects a deep emotional connection to human experience and a careful observation of her surroundings. She frequently uses warm colors, with red being a constant presence in her palette. She cites Joaquín Sorolla as a major influence, whom she regards as a timeless genius. Music also plays an important role in her creative process, helping her express what she feels and observes.

Author Simó Busom (Barcelona- Spain 1927-2020), a landscape painter, trained at the Baixas Academy. He began with watercolors, and from an initial figurative art, influenced by the work of the Catalan artist Ramon Rogent, he evolved towards post-cubism and finally returned to figurative art.
In 1964 he held his first exhibition at the prestigious Sala Parés in Barcelona and, from that moment on, he became part of the group of young painters linked to this gallery.
