Cerca de Sarroca – Landscape Painting - Escola d’Olot post-war abstraction

Description
This striking modernist landscape, titled Cerca de Sarroca, captures the vivid topography of the Catalan countryside through bold color segmentation and rhythmic brushwork. Executed with acrylic or oil on canvas, the composition reveals rolling hills rendered in luminous tones of ochre, rose, and violet, converging beneath a sky of pale greens and blues. The artist’s disciplined use of contour and tonal layering transforms the natural terrain into an almost abstract interplay of form and color. The surface is structured yet fluid, emphasizing spatial harmony and chromatic vibration rather than literal realism. The technique suggests mid-20th-century influences, blending regional expressionism with post-impressionist sensibility. This painting’s radiant palette and geometric balance give it a strong decorative and architectural presence suited to both modern and classic settings.
