#45864 Antonio Bisquert

The canvas presents a view of a park scene, rendered in a style characterized by fragmented forms and vibrant color fields. A dark, almost black, border frames the composition, immediately isolating the depicted landscape and intensifying its chromatic impact. The perspective is somewhat elevated, offering a panoramic vista across a grassy expanse that slopes gently downwards.
Here we see a pathway leading into the distance, defined by a band of reddish-brown earth. A solitary wooden bench sits along this path, positioned slightly off-center and contributing to a sense of quiet solitude within the scene. The vegetation is abundant; dense groupings of trees and shrubs populate the foreground and middle ground. These are not depicted with botanical accuracy but rather as blocks of color – greens, yellows, oranges, and touches of blue – applied in short, broken brushstrokes.
The artist employed a limited palette, yet achieved considerable visual complexity through the juxtaposition of these hues. The sky is suggested by patches of white and pale blue, interspersed with areas of green that blur the distinction between earth and atmosphere. Tall, slender trees punctuate the background, their forms simplified to vertical planes of color. A prominent tree trunk dominates the right side of the composition, its branches reaching upwards towards the sky, creating a dynamic diagonal line that cuts across the scene.
The overall effect is one of subjective perception rather than objective representation. The landscape appears less as a faithful rendering of reality and more as an emotional response to it. There’s a sense of stillness and tranquility, but also a subtle undercurrent of melancholy evoked by the solitary bench and the isolating frame. The flattened perspective and abstracted forms suggest a deliberate distancing from traditional notions of depth and realism, hinting at a focus on the expressive potential of color and form. The work conveys an impression of fleeting moments and sensory impressions rather than a concrete narrative.
