Carmen López Martínez, (Lalla): "The Time of Lemons" (2024)

Attention! Start session for bidding for this lot.

SUB_ef5_26031

In this still life, I explore the quiet beauty of the everyday through lemons still attached to their leaves. An intense contrast of light and shadow models the volumes, highlighting the vibrancy of the fruit against the progressive rigidity of the leaves that are beginning to dry. This barely perceptible transformation becomes the true protagonist of the composition. The Artwork not only represents lemons, but also the inevitable passage of time on matter. The tension between the freshness of the fruit and the fragility of the leaves creates a visual dialogue laden with symbolism, where the light reveals every texture and every fold with great intensity. Through an expressive brushstroke and a personal interpretation of reality, the painting invites us to contemplate the beauty that resides in the natural processes of change, reminding us that life and time leave their mark even on the simplest elements.

  • Carmen López Martínez, (Lalla): "Atardecer de verano en la plaza de Linköping"

    En este cuadro he querido representar la plaza de Linköping en un atardecer de verano, captando el momento en el que se transforma bajo la luz cálida del atardecer estival propiciando un escenario de intensa vitalidad cromática. Los colores saturados acentúan la expresividad de la escena y convierten la realidad cotidiana en una experiencia visual vibrante en la que la luz adquiere un protagonismo esencial. La composición recoge la atmósfera singular de una tarde de verano sueca, cuando el sol, próximo al horizonte, baña los espacios y las arquitecturas con tonalidades intensas, creando contrastes que enriquecen la percepción del paisaje urbano. La fuerza del color no busca reproducir fielmente la realidad, sino más bien transmitir la emoción que la escena despertó en mí como artista. A través de una interpretación figurativa de marcado carácter luminista, la obras pretende celebrar la belleza de lo cotidiano y la capacidad de la pintura para detener un instante fugaz. El resultado es una evocación del verano nórdico en el que la luz, el color y la atmósfera se funden para expresar la serenidad y la plenitud de una tarde que parece prolongarse en el tiempo.

  • 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.
