#44615 Angel Busca

The composition presents a fragmented view, dominated by architectural elements in the foreground and a distant cityscape receding into atmospheric haze. The immediate focus is on a section of what appears to be a balustrade or arcade – its structure defined by rounded arches, decorative spheres atop pilasters, and an overall sense of classical influence. These forms are rendered in muted greens and grays, suggesting age and weathering.
Beyond this architectural foreground, the eye is drawn towards a densely populated urban landscape. Buildings rise in tiers, their details softened by distance and atmospheric perspective. The color palette here shifts to lighter tones – creams, whites, and pale yellows – contributing to an impression of luminosity and remoteness. A band of verdant foliage occupies the lower portion of the scene, acting as a visual buffer between the architectural foreground and the distant city.
The artist’s technique emphasizes a loose, almost blurred application of paint. Brushstrokes are visible throughout, creating a textured surface that contributes to the overall sense of transience and impermanence. The lack of sharp lines and distinct outlines further blurs the boundaries between forms, fostering an ethereal quality.
Subtly, the painting explores themes of memory and perception. The fragmented nature of the composition suggests a recollection rather than a direct observation – as if the scene is being recalled from afar or through a veil of time. The contrast between the solidity of the architectural foreground and the ephemeral quality of the cityscape hints at the passage of time and the shifting relationship between human construction and natural environment. There’s an underlying sense of melancholy, evoked by the muted colors and the feeling of distance – as if the viewer is observing a scene that exists only in the realm of memory or imagination.
