Review of the work “Last Night”
“Last Night,” is a canvas measuring 50 x 70 cm. It stands out for its color palette dominated by pink, purple and white tones, which create an atmosphere that is both soft and mysterious. The artist uses a combination of geometric shapes and abstract patterns to construct a complex composition that appears to capture a moment frozen in time; a moment in the night when the city and its elements come to life in an almost dreamlike way.
The architectural elements suggested by the lines and angular shapes are reminiscent of buildings, windows and balconies, giving the work a feeling of urbanity. Pops of blue and black add depth and contrast with the lighter colors, evoking the darkness of night and the shadows that accompany it. The floral pattern in the lower part of the work adds an organic dimension, softening the rigidity of the geometric lines and bringing a sense of life and naturalness.
The visible texture of the brushstrokes and the thick application of paint create a rich and dynamic surface, which engages the viewer to consider the material of the work as part of the representation. This tactile approach is reminiscent of expressionism, where emotions and sensations are communicated directly through its materiality.
