Thick impasto and gestural brushwork animate the rocky terrain and solitary tree clinging to the slope, while layers of slate blue, ochre, and moss green evoke a powerful sense of place and atmosphere. The composition is bold and well-balanced, capturing both the weight of the land and the restlessness of the sky. Pausas Mestres’ palette is earthy yet luminous, with energetic strokes that reflect the fleeting light of changing weather. Rooted in post-impressionist traditions, the work demonstrates an artist attuned to natural rhythm and visual drama. It offers a dynamic presence, rich in movement and texture, ideal for elevating any art-conscious environment.
