Colorful Mediterranean Beach Promenade with Café Terraces and Figures Artist: Elisabeth Ollé Curiel Title: La Playa Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm / 23.62 × 28.74 in Framed dimensions: 78 × 91 cm / 30.71 × 35.83 in Signature: Signed “Ollé Curiel” lower right Inscription: Titled “La Playa” on the reverse Origin: Spain Style: Fauvist, Expressionist, Mediterranean Modern Period: Late 20th century Condition: Good original condition, with minor signs of age and wear consistent with its history Frame: Presented in its original wooden frame DESCRIPTION A vibrant Mediterranean beach scene by Spanish painter Elisabeth Ollé Curiel, depicting a lively seaside promenade filled with café terraces, striped awnings, strolling figures and sunlit architecture overlooking the deep blue sea. Ollé Curiel constructs the composition through broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and an exuberant palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, emerald green, yellow, red and ochre. The figures and architectural elements are deliberately simplified, creating a rhythmic and highly expressive vision of everyday coastal life. The large green-and-white café canopy anchors the foreground, while the promenade leads the eye toward the sea and the bright horizon. Rather than offering a literal representation, the artist transforms the beach into a celebration of color, movement and Mediterranean light. The painting is signed in the lower-right corner and titled “La Playa” on the reverse. Its generous format and vivid chromatic presence make it an excellent statement piece for a contemporary, modernist or Mediterranean-inspired interior. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Elisabeth Ollé Curiel is a Spanish painter and sculptor born in Barcelona in 1960. Her artistic identity is shaped by both her Catalan background and her family connections with Venezuela and the Caribbean. Her work explores memory, cultural identity, travel and the meeting of different landscapes and traditions. Mediterranean villages, Caribbean settings, urban scenes, music and the human figure frequently appear in her paintings. Ollé Curiel’s pictorial language combines expressive color, simplified forms and gestural brushwork. Her work reveals affinities with Fauvism, Expressionism and lyrical abstraction while maintaining a distinctive and highly personal character. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally and are appreciated for their vitality, emotional immediacy and fusion of European and Caribbean visual influences. PICTORIAL INSPIRATION The painting reflects the legacy of Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy and the Fauvist tradition, particularly in its liberated use of color, flattened perspective and joyful interpretation of Mediterranean life. Its energetic brushwork and spontaneous figures also evoke European Expressionism, while the luminous palette and bustling café atmosphere recall the modern coastal scenes painted throughout the French and Spanish Mediterranean during the 20th century.

EMILIO GRAU SALA Spanish, 1911 - 1975 INTERIEUR AUX FLEURS JAUNES signed "Grau Sala" (lower left) signed again, located, dated and titled "Grau Sala, Paris 61, Interieur aux fleurs jaunes" (on the reverse) oil on canvas 15 x 18-1/4 inches (38 x 46 cm.) framed: 23-1/2 x 26-1/2 (59.5 x 67 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Parisian Collection Interieur aux fleurs jaunes This interior with two female figures where also the plans made in different colors are drawing the composition. The abundant pictorial material distributed in geometric portions, gives life to the tablecloth and mother and daughter figures, in black and white colors of the jacket, while the black line takes care of the environments so as not to separate them. The fruit bowl and flowers give a cheerful touch with their pastel tones. Emilio Grau Sala came from a family of artists. He was born in Barcelona in 1911 and his father, a good cartoonist, had been one of the promoters of the "Salon des Humanistes" and made his exhibitions normally in "Sala Parés", Barcelona. His first works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents. In the years 1930-33 he had painted under the influence of Cubism, especially that of Torres García. It is from that time a painting of the port of Barcelona, ​​geometric and structural, which completely anticipated what would later be his work. His personality began fully painting watercolors and oils with a certain fantasy character, with a point of decorative instinct and themes full of naivety and grace. Romantic interiors, paddocks, port scenes, sailors, etc. Grau Sala was essentially a Mediterranean painter, son of post-impressionism and enriched with French painting of the last fifty years. Mediterranean because his work has the color and light of that land. He understood and assimilated impressionist painting very well, and for that reason he was never subject to the modules of a formulist realism, nor the sexigencias of the forms. In Paris he found the best environment to give us a fruitful and intense work, because he could use the expressive potential of French art to enrich it. All this made him a very esteemed artist everywhere where his work was known. He was also very often required to illustrate books and publications in Paris. Also his posters were very successful. He painted a large number of subjects, but perhaps the theme of horse racing is where you can see in a very clear way the joyful and optimistic life that was lived at that time. In this fabric there is an explosion of juicy and vivid colors full of ingenuity and simplicity in its composition. Only a teacher could turn the complicated into something simple and beautiful. Before this work we feel a deep emotion, the emotion of before starting a horse race. Joy and nervousness at the same time. Especially since it is a direct emotion. There are no intermediaries between our eyes and what the work intends to tell us. This is precisely what seduces and catches us of this painting. His works can be found in the Museums of the Villa de Paris, L'Ile de France Museum, at the Château de Sceaux, Honfleur Museum, La Rochelle Museum, Barcelona Museum...

A bold and expressive harbor scene rendered in a vibrant Fauvist-inspired palette, featuring a gondola-like boat floating on luminous reflective waters beneath an explosive abstract sky. The composition merges figuration and abstraction through energetic brushwork, saturated color contrasts, and dynamic gestural forms. Intense blues, crimson reds, yellows, pinks, and deep blacks create a dramatic visual rhythm while emphasizing the emotional atmosphere over literal representation. Reflections across the water animate the lower half of the composition, balancing the powerful abstract forms above. Influenced by Fauvism, German Expressionism, and postwar gestural painting, the work recalls the expressive freedom of artists such as André Derain, Raoul Dufy, and early abstract expressionist colorists. The painting’s vivid chromatic intensity and strong decorative quality make it particularly striking in contemporary interiors. A compelling modernist harbor composition combining lyrical abstraction, expressionist color, and Mediterranean atmosphere. fauvist painting, expressionist harbor scene, gondola painting...
