Description This captivating pair of original oil paintings by Miquel Tort Masgrau transports the viewer to the sunlit stone paths and whitewashed façades of traditional Ibizan villages. Painted in rich, expressive brushstrokes, both works evoke the serenity of Mediterranean life—women in black traditional dress move gently through the empty cobbled alleys, their presence adding a timeless human warmth to the architectural calm.
Each framed painting measures 73 cm x 84 cm, making them perfectly suited to be displayed together as a balanced and harmonious pair. The artist’s refined use of light and contrast brings the white architecture to life under a vivid blue sky, while green shutters and rustic stone textures add depth and character.
Elegantly presented in their original carved and gilded wood frames, the pair makes a striking impression in any interior—ideal for art collectors, Mediterranean home stylists, or anyone drawn to sun-drenched realism. These scenes do more than decorate; they transport the viewer to a place of peace, light, and memory.
