"Roma from Figueres" is a compelling portrait that captures the essence of the city through bold, expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Expressionism. The use of Oil paints lends a rich texture to the work, while the artist’s innovative use of cardboard adds a layered, tactile quality. While inspired by Catalan thinker Alexandre Deulofeu i Torres's cyclical theory of the evolution of civilizations—what he termed the Mathematics of History—the painting also reflects a timeless portrait of Rome’s enduring influence on history and culture.
