A bold modernist figurative painting by Gaby Riva, featuring abstracted figures rendered in dynamic geometric forms and saturated color fields. The composition is rhythmic and energetic, with expressive hands, angular silhouettes, and layered planes that create a strong sense of movement and visual tension.

Executed in a vibrant palette of blues, greens, ochres, reds, and yellows, the painting reflects a confident modernist approach and shares visual affinities with the work of Wifredo Lam, while maintaining a distinct and individual painterly voice.

Presented in a clean, contemporary frame, this piece is immediately install-ready and works beautifully as a statement artwork in modern, eclectic, or collector-driven interiors.

This painting works exceptionally well in high-end residential and boutique commercial interiors where a strong visual anchor is needed. The bold color saturation and sculptural, modernist figuration allow it to hold its own against architectural elements, custom millwork, or richly layered interiors without feeling overpowering. Its modernist influence—echoing the visual language associated with Wifredo Lam—adds cultural depth and intellectual credibility, making it especially appealing for designers seeking pieces that feel both decorative and collectible. The scale is ideal for living rooms, stair landings, libraries, or statement walls, and the framing presents the work as immediately install-ready for client presentations. See less
