White strokes and drips contrast with the turquoise background; yellows, greens, blues and violets appear across the body.

The composition divides the painting into two broad visual fields: on the left, the ghostly, empty framework of a boat, painted with gestural strokes and drips; on the right, a human figure enclosed by geometric structures recalling a labyrinth or a confined space. Oil paint is combined with what appear to be spray and stencil techniques, creating a surface of textures and layers that echoes the complexity of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePalette and light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour provides the emotional focus of the painting. Monrós creates a strong contrast between the surroundings and the individual. Greys, blacks and a greenish blue with industrial, melancholy associations dominate the background, punctuated by fluorescent green. In contrast, the man's skin becomes a field of blues, violets, yellows and oranges, suggesting a light from within.

In a Mediterranean context, a boat can suggest freedom, livelihood and travel; its absence becomes a metaphor for being stranded before an unreachable horizon. Yet the figure appears deeply concentrated, almost curled into a foetal position, rather than defeated. The scene can be read as an image of resilience: when outward movement is blocked, exploration turns inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Monrós (b. 1960)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e S’homu que no tenía barca\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil and mixed media on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 × 50 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed “Monrós” at the lower right on the front; signed, titled and dated on the reverse of the canvas.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good, with no notable damage or defects.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"El taller del coleccionista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52377789858125,"sku":null,"price":690.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/1841\/3901\/files\/DSC_0011_99430240-1f22-4168-97ce-fd5b585f0b8e.jpg?v=1792284329"},{"product_id":"patrick-loste-composicion-abstracta-jinete-telurico","title":"Patrick Loste — Rider among Mountains — Mixed media on cardboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe horse, rider and mountains are inseparable from the imagery of Patrick Loste (Perpignan, 1955).
