Bidspirit auction | The Lighthouse, Signed José Antonio

The Lighthouse, Signed José Antonio Serna Ramos, Contemporary Spanish School, 20th Century - Oil on paper. Dimensions: 24 x 17 cm / 42 x 37 cm. An expressionistic landscape composition centered on a rocky coastline dominated by the silhouette of a lighthouse against an open sea horizon. The scene is constructed with broad, gestural, and fluid brushstrokes that break down reality into chromatic patches of intense luminous vibrancy. The turquoise blues of the sky and sea contrast with ochres, mauves, and earth tones applied with great freedom of impasto to the rock formations, generating a dynamic and enveloping atmospheric sensation. The quick and spontaneous brushwork reveals the influence of Informalism and Spanish lyrical abstraction of the second half of the 20th century, where the landscape is transformed into an emotional rather than a descriptive experience. The expressive use of color and the energy of the brushstrokes give the work remarkable visual force and an intense evocative capacity. Signed Serna Ramos. 24 x 17 cm.
