Ramón Sampol Isern is a painter whose production has been defined by a sustained dedication to the maritime genre, with special attention to the representation of ships and naval scenes. His work is inscribed in the Mediterranean tradition of the marine landscape, where the boat acts not only as a central iconographic motif, but also as the structural axis of the pictorial composition. Through a precise and observational language, Sampol Isern combines descriptive rigor with a luminist sensibility that refers both to Balearic genre painting and to the heritage of European naval painting of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The attention to detail, the fidelity in the proportions and the atmospheric recreation of skies and waters place his work within a documentary line.
