#48258 Agustin Ubeda

The composition presents a still life arrangement rendered in a highly stylized and expressive manner. A dark background, almost entirely black, serves as a dense backdrop against which forms emerge with a palpable sense of immediacy. The artist employed a limited palette dominated by deep reds, purples, yellows, and greens, all applied with visible brushstrokes that contribute to the work’s textural richness.
Here we see several objects arranged on what appears to be a table or surface covered in an elaborate patterned cloth. A large vase, rendered in shades of purple and blue, occupies a central position, holding a dense cluster of flowers – their forms abstracted into swirling masses of color rather than realistic depictions. To the left, a wine glass lies tilted, seemingly suspended in mid-air, suggesting a moment frozen in time or perhaps an element of disruption. A red object, possibly a fruit or decorative item, is positioned near the glass, its form distorted and exaggerated with bold lines and intense coloration.
The artist’s use of color and shape creates a dreamlike quality. The forms are not precisely defined; instead, they blend into one another, creating a sense of visual ambiguity. This lack of clarity contributes to an overall feeling of emotional intensity rather than objective representation. The arrangement feels symbolic, hinting at themes of abundance, celebration, or perhaps even loss – the tilted glass could suggest a spilled drink, a moment of carelessness, or the fleeting nature of pleasure.
The gold leaf accents scattered throughout the composition introduce another layer of complexity. They catch the eye and add a sense of opulence, but also seem to be integrated into the overall texture rather than standing out as separate elements. This suggests that even luxury is subject to the artist’s expressive distortion. The work evokes a feeling of melancholy tinged with vibrancy – a poignant reflection on beauty and transience.
