This "Still Life" dated 1998 belongs to a contemporary Spanish production of expressionist roots, where color and brushstrokes have a leading role over the naturalistic representation. The scene gathers classic elements of the genre: fruits arranged on a table, a central white cloth and a large floral bouquet in the background.
Apples and oranges appear, treated with simplified shapes and marked contours, while the floral background generates a vibrant and almost abstract atmosphere.
