Oro y sombra de poniente

About the Item

This collection, a compendium of sensory and emotional experience, delves into the very essence of painting as a medium of expression. Each canvas is a testament to the mastery of light, shadow, and color, employing techniques deeply rooted in the teachings of the great historical masters, while also venturing into the individuality of the contemporary artist. The meticulous application of paint, with brushstrokes ranging from soft and diffused to dense and textured, demonstrates a dexterity that transcends the mere reproduction of form. The gesturality of the brush invokes an emotional energy, with its dynamism and dramatic elongation, capturing spirituality and psychological intensity. The chromatic palette is both deliberate and audacious, with choices that evoke the chromatic calculation of the Pre-Raphaelites and the vibrant expressiveness of the Fauvists. The carefully balanced composition, with points of interest that guide the viewer's gaze across the canvas, shows a deep understanding of pictorial geometry. The collection, as a whole, is a study of form and volume, where the human figure and the landscape are displayed with an almost tactile clarity. The representation of light, playing on contours and surfaces, reveals an affinity with the chiaroscuro technique, where lighting not only defines form but also charges each scene with a dense and emotional atmosphere. Jiménez's work is an ode to technical precision and the emotional power of realism in painting. It is an exploration of the artist's ability to capture not only the appearance of the world, but also its inner resonance, its invisible weight, and its intrinsic connection with the human experience that observes, interprets, and ultimately immerses itself in the work.
