Abstract Figuration Scene by Jordi Samsó

Description
Jordi Samsó presents an abstract figurative composition in oil, depicting elongated human forms, symbolic animals, and architectural elements within a subdued atmospheric setting. Executed in a restrained palette of slate blue, grey, and charcoal with muted earth accents, the work balances painterly washes with fine linear drawing. The central standing figure anchors the composition, while surrounding surreal motifs—pedestals, vessels, and hybrid creatures—create spatial tension and narrative ambiguity. Characteristic of post-war Catalan abstract figuration, the piece combines expressive brushwork and controlled structure, offering a contemplative and visually layered statement suited to refined modern interiors.
