Description
In this luminous and contemporary work, Maestro Joel Gonell presents a vibrant reinterpretation of Caribbean tropical motifs. The composition is dominated by a singular, slender palm tree that stretches upward against a radiant, multi-layered background of lime greens, golden yellows, and hints of turquoise.
Gonell’s technique is characterized by a "motion-blur" effect, where colors bleed horizontally and vertically across the canvas, suggesting a sun-drenched atmosphere vibrating with heat and light. Fine, etched lines crisscross the surface, adding a structural, modern grid that contrasts with the soft, organic fluidity of the palm fronds. This piece captures a sense of tropical "high noon," blending figurative elements with a bright, energetic abstraction that feels both nostalgic and distinctly modern.
