Reservoir

"Reservoir" captures the tranquil essence of an early morning at a water reservoir in El Chorro, southern Spain. The painting is a study of light and shadow, depicting a backlit mountain casting intriguing shadows across the nearly dried-out reservoir. The artwork vividly portrays the marks left by the once higher water levels, now etched into the stony edges and arid landscape. The composition is anchored by a high horizon line, creating a sense of openness. This diagonal setup, coupled with almost free-floating elements and directional lines, adds a dynamic quality to the scene. These lines subtly play with the viewer's perception, almost steering them away, creating a sense of journey and exploration within the confines of the canvas.
