Montse Piñol — Violet atmosphere (2014) — Oil and mixed media

Violets and blues overlap light areas, strokes and trails of paint. In Violet atmosphere by Montse Piñol, orange accents stand out against a predominantly cool colour field.

Layers and surfaces

The composition brings together broad patches and areas of varied texture. On the left, a whitish form with irregular edges reveals small dark spaces; vertical and rectangular patterns appear towards the centre. Changes in opacity allow some layers to show through others.

The course of colour

Violets occupy much of the centre and upper area, while blues and greens appear at the edges. Oranges gather in the lower half and extend into vertical trails. This contrast introduces a rhythm distinct from the broader patches.

The Taller Note

The light areas on the left and the orange drips below create two distinct focal points. Between them, violet layers and dark patterns form transitions. Trails of paint cross the boundaries of some patches, making a vertical movement visible within the composition.
