This is an oil painting on canvas, created in France in 1988, as indicated by the date written beneath the artist’s signature. Unfortunately, we do not have any information about the artist. The canvas has recently been mounted on a sturdy wooden frame and completed with a thin, light-colored border. The painting was executed using a mixed technique that combines brush and palette knife work. The artist initially used traditional brushes but then decisively switched to a palette knife, allowing for a dense and textured application of color. This technique gives the painting remarkable depth and a distinctive tactile quality. The artistic style is inspired by Abstract Art, which does not depict reality in a figurative manner but instead conveys concepts through the interplay of shapes, colors, and lines. The concept of "abstraction" is broad and refers to the process by which the human intellect represents reality by focusing only on select characteristics. The fundamental principle of Abstract Art is that it does not need to imitate reality. This piece specifically belongs to the movement of Geometric Abstraction, also known as Concrete Art, where geometric forms—though subtle and not strictly defined—take precedence, along with the use of primary colors. This artistic current developed primarily in the 20th century, drawing inspiration from Cubism and the works of artists such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. The painting appears to explore simple geometric shapes combined with colors that create strong visual contrasts. The interaction between shapes, symbols, and hues also suggests an influence from Symbolist art, which seeks to go beyond mere representation of visible reality to express deeper meanings. The artwork’s harmonious composition and vibrant colors convey a remarkable aesthetic appeal and an engaging energy. These qualities give the painting a lively freshness and a high decorative value, making it easy to place in any room of the home. The artwork is in excellent condition.
