About the Item

Panoramic cut painting. By taking a visual tour, the depicted objects that make up the work are gradually discovered. These objects are from the painter's history. Lived elements, placed on a section of an old shelf and, reading the painting visually in this horizontal case, and then books. Some older than others, all without titles on their spines. But they have a story, they have a reason. A black antique bakelite telephone, with which he communicated with people, a lamp that once illuminated a bedside table and is now useless, and a seashell, a memory of some family summer seaside spot. The painter pays tribute to them as part of a farewell ritual. Each element, from the delicate seashell to the worn pages, symbolizes beauty and the passage of time.

Shelf II
Located in CAMPO REAL, ES
Shelf II is a work that reveals the intimacy of a personal space through the representation of a fragment of a bookshelf in the artist's studio. With a vertical format this oil on board captures the essence of family and personal history through the careful arrangement of everyday objects. The composition of the painting follows a pyramidal design that guides the viewer's gaze to the apex, where a solitary wooden pipe stands as a symbol of culmination. On the three shelves, one finds a variety of items that tell stories. An antique radio evokes times past, while a light bulb suggests the light of thought and inspiration. An antique cardboard box...
