This is an impressive work by the Spanish artist Jaime Sicilia, a large-format abstract painting. The piece, titled "Seascape", captures the essence of a seascape with a powerful, minimalist approach and striking use of color.
The painting is executed on canvas and measures 180 by 180 cm, giving it a significant presence in any space. The composition is dominated by deep gold and ochre tones, intersected by clean black lines that suggest a horizon. This work is a beautiful example of contemporary abstract art and comes from the renowned Rodrigo Juarranz gallery in Madrid, as evidenced by the original purchase invoice.
The artwork is in excellent condition and comes in its original wooden frame. The texture and layering of the paint create a depth that catches the light in different ways throughout the day. This large, atmospheric painting is ideal as a focal point above a sofa or on a large, empty wall in a modern or minimalist interior.
His "oro/oro" works are created using a technique he adopted from the 17th-century Japanese Rimpa-school in Kyoto. He applies wafer-thin layers of mineral pigment and gold pigment or gold leaf to a wooden panel. As a result, the painting constantly changes its appearance: depending on how daylight enters the room, the golden waves light up or recede serenely into the background.
The painting changes with the incidence of light; during the day, but also with artificial light, other dimensions emerge.
