About the Item

Title: Forest Clearings Artist: Ferran Ponsjoan Delós (1916–1993) Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 46 × 55 cm (18.1 × 21.6 in) Support: Canvas on wooden stretcher Signature: Signed lower right: “Ponsjoan” Condition: Unframed Period: Second half of the 20th century Provenance: Private collection DESCRIPTION This evocative natural scene transports the viewer into the heart of a Mediterranean forest, where light filters through the vertical tree trunks with lively brushstrokes and warm contrasts. The composition guides the eye toward a sunlit clearing, where hints of lilac, earthy tones, and acidic greens emerge, creating an intimate and immersive atmosphere. The work stands out for its technical fluidity and luminous sensitivity—hallmarks of the artist’s style. Ferran Ponsjoan builds the scene with a natural palette, loose brushwork, and a degree of abstraction in the treatment of foliage, yet without ever abandoning figurative representation. The painting reveals an emotional connection to the environment, where color and light convey stillness, depth, and vitality. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Ferran Ponsjoan Delós (1916–1993) was born in Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona) and was a landscape painter specializing in natural scenes, seascapes, and views of the Costa Brava. His work is distinguished by loose brushwork, a strong command of natural light, and a chromatic language that balances intensity with restraint. Throughout the 20th century, his paintings were exhibited and sold in local galleries and on international platforms. His signature appears as either “F. Ponsjoan” or simply “Ponsjoan.” Today, his pieces remain sought after by collectors interested in the Catalan school of modern landscape painting. RELATED ARTISTS Ferran Ponsjoan Delós belongs to a pictorial tradition that resonates with other Spanish landscape painters of the 20th century, such as: Rafael Durancamps (1891–1979) – for his atmospheric sensitivity and restrained palette. Josep Amat (1901–1991) – for his loose brushwork and chromatic vitality. Joan Serra Melgosa (1915–1996) – for his emotional connection to nature and expressive landscape representation. Francesc Gimeno (1858–1927) – as a precursor of a direct, vibrant, and sincere painting style.
