Detailed Description:
The painting presents an abstract and figurative composition where two stylized human figures interact within a domestic or artistic studio environment. Both highly distorted figures echo the visual language developed by Pablo Picasso in his late Cubist period. The work features strong brushstrokes, simplified geometric forms, and elongated bodies expressing emotional tension or symbolic dialogue. The atmosphere of the scene conveys introspection and theatricality, where objects and elements suggest multiple psychological interpretations. The texture of the acrylic is dense and vigorous, contributing visual and sensory energy.
Brief Biography of the Artist:
Gustavo Úbeda Romero was a prominent Spanish painter, ceramist, poet, and playwright born in 1930 in Herencia (Ciudad Real). Brother of renowned painter Agustín Úbeda and photographer Ángel Úbeda, Gustavo's work was significantly influenced by the French School and Romanesque figuration. He lived and worked in Paris before settling in Salvador de Bahía, Brazil, where he established his artistic career and gained recognition through various solo exhibitions. His work showcases a unique personality characterized by a warm palette and decorative interpretation, blending artistic tradition with innovation.

Antoni Pitxot Battle of Constantine oil on board painting surrealist art
By Antoni Pitxot
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Battle of Constantine
Artist: Antoni Pitxot i Soler (1934–2015)
Technique: Oil on board
Dimensions (unframed): 9 x 12.6 in
Dimensions (framed): 17.3 x 20.9 in
Signature: Signed in the lower right corner
Period: Second half of the 20th century
Provenance: Galeria d’Art Àmbit, Barcelona
Description
Battle of Constantine is a symbolic and fragmented composition that showcases the dreamlike world so characteristic of Antoni Pitxot. Through an array of rock-like, anthropomorphic forms, the artist constructs a mythical and dramatic landscape that suggests an epic confrontation. The vivid pink sky and tactile textures reinforce the visual tension, evoking ruins, bodies, and reliefs that seem to emerge directly from the earth.
In this piece, Pitxot applies his meticulous technique and unmistakable visual language, where ambiguity is a tool for the viewer's imagination. The boundary between figure and landscape blurs, creating a poetic vision that feels both ancient and surreal.
About the Artist
Antoni Pitxot i Soler (1934–2015) was a prominent Catalan painter born in Figueres, Girona, into a family with a long artistic tradition.
