Carmen López Martínez, (Lalla): "Suspended Nature" (2026)
In this canvas, I wanted to depict a Mediterranean mountain landscape featuring a pine forest reflected in the tranquil waters of a small lake. The lake's surface reproduces the trees' silhouettes in a play of reflections that doubles the presence of the forest. Nature thus becomes the protagonist of a composition where the verticality of the trees finds its counterpoint in the horizontal stillness of the water. Through figurative representation, the painting explores the visual richness of the landscape and the relationship between its elements, creating a dialogue between the solidity of the vegetation and the delicacy of its reflected image. The chromatic contrasts and the play of light contribute to giving depth and vitality to the scene, inviting the viewer to pause and consider the nuances and variations that transform the perception of nature. Beyond the representation of a specific environment, the Artwork proposes a contemplative gaze upon the landscape. The water acts as a mirror that reveals another dimension of the forest, an image suspended between reality and its pictorial interpretation. In this dual presence of the pine trees lies the essence of the composition: the serenity of nature and the fascination awakened by its ability to offer us, in each reflection, a new way of seeing.
