Figures gathered along an ornate balcony are rendered in expressive linework and bold passages of black, framed by shuttered openings and scrolling ironwork. A striking tonal reversal across the center gives the composition a distinctive graphic rhythm.

Presented under glass with cream double matting and a gold-tone frame, this evocative figurative work brings contrast and architectural interest to a collected interior.

About the Artist
Born in Olot, Spain, Curós studied at the city’s art school and later worked in Paris. His career encompassed abstraction and figurative painting, with a renewed focus on figuration during the 1960s. He held his first solo exhibition at Barcelona’s Sala Parés in 1965 and received the Ynglada-Guillot drawing prize in 1967. His work is represented in the Fundació Vila Casas collection.

Designer Notes
The monochromatic palette offers a striking counterpoint to warm wood furniture, patterned textiles, and collected antiques. Place above a writing desk or console, or incorporate into a gallery wall alongside portraits and architectural studies. Particularly suited to Ralph Lauren–inspired rooms, English country interiors, and traditional maximalist spaces. Replacement framing in ebonized wood or a restrained antique-gold finish would complement the composition beautifully.
