A dreamlike and powerful scene: a female figure reclining on a rock amidst stormy waves, beneath a cloud-filled sky. A painting with a strong decorative impact, featuring a palette of blue, purple, and ochre, with a textured and expressive brushstroke typical of the 1970s and 1980s.
A large-format work, perfect as a statement piece for a living room, study, or beach house.

I am intentionally keeping the artist's details general: the autograph signature is present and photographed in detail, to be studied/deciphered by the buyer. The work is sold as shown in the photos, without an additional authenticity certificate and without certain attributions to famous artists.
Condition:
Good overall condition for its age. Front with vivid and well-preserved colors, minor signs of wear along the edges of the canvas consistent with age. Back with stains and small spots of humidity/age, clearly visible in the photos, which do not affect the front but are typical of vintage paintings stored for a long time. Solid stretcher.
