Symbolist Male and Female Couple Portrait Modern Spanish Figurative Oil Painting Surrealist Composition Artist: Ramon Llovet Miserol (Spanish, 1917–1987) Title: Parella (Couple) Date: 1977 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions (image): Height: 50 cm (19.69 in); Width: 61 cm (24.02 in) Signature: Signed lower right; titled and dated on reverse Condition: Very good overall condition Frame: Unframed Origin: Spain Style: Symbolist figurative modern painting Period: 1970–1979 Subject: Male and female dual portrait symbolic composition Striking symbolic double portrait painted in 1977 by Catalan modern master Ramon Llovet Miserol. The composition presents a contemplative male and female figure arranged in a psychologically charged spatial relationship, set before a geometric floral structure that reinforces the metaphysical atmosphere characteristic of the artist’s mature period. Paintings from Llovet’s late symbolic phase are increasingly sought after for their balance between postwar European figuration and poetic metaphysical narrative language. This work represents a strong example of his spiritual and introspective visual vocabulary developed during the 1970s. During the 1970s Ramon Llovet developed a deeply personal symbolic figurative language connected with the postwar Catalan modern movement surrounding the circle of Joan Ponç and the intellectual environment linked to Modest Cuixart and the legacy of the group Dau al Set. His poetic treatment of the human figure and metaphysical spatial constructions also resonates with the introspective symbolic direction explored by Marc Chagall in later figurative compositions. This painting belongs to the mature phase in which Llovet integrated philosophical reflection and spiritual symbolism into simplified figurative structures. Ramon Llovet Miserol was a Catalan painter associated with the postwar Barcelona artistic scene and the circle of Sala Gaspar. His work evolved from early Noucentisme influences toward a personal symbolic figurative language combining spiritual reflection, poetic structure and modern European composition. During the 1970s his painting reached its most metaphysical phase, producing works that remain among the most recognizable examples of his mature artistic vocabulary.

Born in 1944 in the canton of Fribourg, Gilbert Pauli currently lives in Geneva, where he devotes himself to painting and sculpture, a passion he developed from his childhood. His favorite theme is the dialogue between the human being and his creator. Gilbert Pauli's messages are universal, without any racial, religious or even cultural reference, with the sole purpose of love for man. From 1986, he worked relentlessly and in a self-taught way to discover the different painting and sculpture techniques: first gouache, followed by dry pastel. These lead him to watercolor, and oil, through charcoal and acrylic. He died in Geneva in 2020 and the Gijsel Gallery...

Taking the liberty of painting a type of sky that does not exist, an improbable water color… it is quite enjoyable.

Titled "The kindly ones" and by Andrée Bars, this oil painting on canvas captures a striking combination of realism and fantasy, depicting three female faces gracefully positioned against a serene background. Each face is distinct, offering a different perspective and expression, perhaps symbolizing various facets of human emotion or thought. Behind them, a beautifully detailed world map stretches across a globe, emphasizing themes of global connection and exploration. The atmosphere is further enriched by the ethereal presence of white doves, which are universally recognized symbols of peace. These elements coalesce into a surreal yet harmonious composition that invites viewers to ponder the deeper connections between humanity and the world at large. The overall effect is both captivating and thought-provoking, showcasing the artist's skill in blending the real with the symbolic to evoke introspection and wonder. Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition.

Titled "Merry-Go-Round," this symbolist oil painting offers a surreal blend of time, space, and childhood nostalgia. The focal point of the composition is a complex armillary sphere, traditionally used to represent the celestial globe, now transformed into a whimsical carousel. Around the armillary sphere, wooden carousel horses are depicted in mid-gallop, their colorful saddles and bridles adding a vibrant contrast to the metallic gold of the armillary rings...

Titled "Narcissus" and by Andrée Bars, this oil on linen canvas painting captivates with its introspective tranquility and intricate detail. The artwork features a young person draped in a richly textured golden coat with deep red accents, lying beside a reflective surface on a wooden floor. The thoughtful pose and downward gaze suggest a moment of deep reflection, reminiscent of the mythological Narcissus who was mesmerized by his own reflection. The background is adorned with a sheer, flowing curtain that adds a layer of softness to the composition, contrasting with the solid and tactile textures of the wooden floor. A lone white flower placed near a strategically positioned pocket watch further enriches the scene, introducing themes of beauty, fragility, and the relentless march of time. The use of muted, earthy tones alongside dramatic lighting not only highlights the figure and elements within the painting but also evokes a mood of contemplation and solitude. This painting, through its symbolic elements and masterful execution, invites viewers to ponder themes of self-reflection, identity, and the ephemeral nature of time. Andrée Bars is a French painter.

Titled "Each Has Its Destiny," this charming symbolist oil painting on canvas by Andrée Bars offers a serene and contemplative view of nature's delicate balance. The composition features three snails navigating their way across a barbed wire fence, set against a backdrop of a lush meadow under a clear blue sky. The snails, each with distinctively colored shells – one brown, one dark, and one golden – symbolize individuality and the unique paths each creature takes in life. The barbed wire, often associated with barriers and challenges, contrasts with the gentle and slow movement of the snails, suggesting a journey filled with obstacles yet approached with patience and determination. The bamboo stalks and various wildflowers in the background add a touch of whimsy and natural beauty, emphasizing the coexistence of fragility and resilience in the natural world. The delicate rendering of the leaves and flowers, along with the meticulous depiction of the snails, showcases the artist's attention to detail and mastery of texture. The painting's soft lighting and subtle color palette evoke a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the viewer to reflect on the theme of destiny and the slow but steady progress each individual makes despite life's challenges. "Each Has Its Destiny" is a poignant reminder of perseverance and the unique journey every being undertakes, rendered with elegance and sensitivity. Andrée Bars is a French painter.
