"Composition" is a vibrant artwork that exemplifies a figurative approach developed through the tradition of the Prix de Rome scholarship, which historically supported artists in exploring their creative visions in Rome. Created using gouache on paper, it balances expressive color with precise form. While the composition shows influences from Lyrical abstraction, it also hints at abstract tendencies, displaying a dynamic harmony of figures and shapes that evoke both narrative and emotion. The painting encapsulates a moment of artistic exploration rooted in classical traditions yet open to modern interpretations.
