#11100 Rosa Torres

The composition presents a stylized landscape dominated by geometric forms and a restricted palette. Here we observe several trees arranged in the foreground, their branches rendered as sharp, angular lines against a simplified backdrop. The artist has eschewed naturalistic representation; instead, the trees are constructed from flat planes of color – ochre, russet, and deep brown – separated by stark white divisions that emphasize their structural components.
The background is divided into horizontal bands of muted gray and beige, suggesting a distant horizon or perhaps an abstracted view of water. A dark band runs along the lower edge of the canvas, creating a visual anchor and further flattening the pictorial space. The overall effect is one of deliberate reduction and formal abstraction.
Subtly, the work conveys a sense of isolation and stillness. The rigid geometry and lack of detail contribute to an atmosphere devoid of overt emotional expression. The trees, while present, appear almost like architectural constructs rather than living organisms, reinforcing this feeling of detachment. The limited color range reinforces the somber mood; the warm tones of the trees are subdued by the cool grays of the background.
The artist’s choice to eliminate any sense of depth or perspective suggests a focus on the inherent qualities of form and line. It is not so much about depicting a place as it is about exploring the possibilities of visual structure, creating an environment that feels both familiar – in its suggestion of nature – and fundamentally artificial in its execution. The work invites contemplation on the relationship between representation and abstraction, and the power of geometric forms to evoke mood and atmosphere.
