Jorge — Abstract Composition (May 22, 1994) — Mixed media on large-format paper

An explosion of gestural energy and color dated 1994. This large-format abstract work, belonging to the same series as our "Romantic Composition," stands out for the boldness of its brushwork and an impeccable floating mount that celebrates the purity of paper as an artistic object.

The brushstroke as a record of time

Within the currents of Spanish abstraction of the late 20th century, action or gestural painting holds a fundamental place. In this work, the artist offers us a physical record of his creative process. The inclusion of the exact date ("22-V-94") in the lower left corner is not a minor detail; it functions like a diary entry, documenting a specific moment of creative intensity. The work does not plan a deliberate geometric structure, but is rather the result of a kinetic explosion where the speed of the painter's arm is imprinted forever on the paper.

Chromatic tension and the use of void

Unlike other works in the same series, here the artist opts for a more acidic and contrasted palette. Technical analysis of the surface shows a mixed media base where charcoal or black graphite strokes build the skeleton of the work, while energetic sweeps of waxes or pastels in magenta, emerald green, electric blue, and orange tones generate visual volume. The artist demonstrates great maturity by leaving large areas of the paper blank. This use of "void" or negative space allows the central tangle of lines to breathe and not overwhelm the viewer's eye, giving the composition a sense of lightness and upward dynamism. Like its sister piece, the floating mount on torn-edge paper elevates the work to the category of a museum piece.

The Taller Note

In this composition dated 1994, gesture and colour create a sense of vibration. The arrangement of the patches lets the eye follow movement across the surface without reducing it to a recognisable figure.
