Paloma Peláez transports the viewer into a dreamlike intimist world in which the real and the imaginary coexist.

Her works are characterised by exceptional delicacy in the use of colour and a markedly lyrical quality, reflecting the feelings she seeks to convey. There is therefore no homogeneity among the objects she introduces into her compositions. Each element is unique and corresponds to a particular idea. With a meticulous, refined technique she endows each stroke, drawing or element with the particular degree of prominence assigned to it in the composition.

This is an idyllic landscape in which nature is synthesised in the form of a series of branches sketched in brownish colours. The geometric forms depicted —circle, rhombus, square and triangle— evoke the representation of the universe in the Oriental world. The central rhombus, which is much more clearly defined than the other figures and is made of wood and superimposed on the canvas, represents a chalice with the word “passion” written vertically. It is a spiritual reflection on this landscape of the soul, referring us to Christian semiotics and symbolism.
