Metaphysical Abstraction – Follower Of Giorgio Morandi (1890 - 1964) - Spanish

Description
This serene mid-century pastel drawing, created in the Spanish modernist tradition, features a solitary adobe-like structure rendered with quiet restraint and lyrical abstraction. The form, softly weathered and volumetric, appears rooted in a barren plane, its gentle arches and edges outlined in dark, gestural strokes. A delicate patch of green foliage emerges unexpectedly from the crown of the left tower, introducing a moment of life within the stillness. The artist employs a dusty, muted palette of peach, ochre, pale grey-blue, and faded green, evoking the Mediterranean sun and earth. Light seems to diffuse through the entire composition, lending the surface a subtle glow and a contemplative stillness. Stylistically, the piece shares affinities with the metaphysical architecture of Giorgio de Chirico, the tonal quietude of Giorgio Morandi, and the poetic minimalism of Ramón Pichot Gironés. This work stands as a refined example of Spanish postwar abstraction rooted in memory, place, and the passage of time.

Artist

Artist Details
