Fruits III

In Frutos III, Manuela Fernández develops one of the most personal and evocative proposals within her Frutos series. The work unfolds as a still life freed from its traditional function: the fruits no longer rest within a container nor follow a domestic logic, but rather float and engage in dialogue within space, transformed into circular forms charged with energy, color, and movement. The brushwork is free yet precise, and although recognizable elements remain, the painting moves naturally toward a territory where figuration dissolves and opens into a contemporary abstract reading.

The composition is articulated through two large chromatic fields that divide the central and upper area of the canvas almost evenly: a golden tonality and an intense royal blue, as if the pictorial space were suspended between two coexisting atmospheres in dialogue. From the lower part of the painting—denser and darker in tone—the fruits and circular elements emerge, moving freely upward, as if driven by a desire to rise and break free from their point of origin. These darker areas introduce depth, volume, and a sense of dynamic movement, reinforcing the idea of transition and expansion within the chromatic space.

Measuring 80 × 130 cm (31.5 × 51.2 inches), Frutos III is a work that requires presence and time. Its balance of gesture, color, and spatial tension makes it a piece conceived for contemporary art collections seeking artworks of character, sensitivity, and lasting dialogue with their environment. Presented as an exclusive work on andartworks.com, this painting embodies the essence of an artist who has developed a distinctive visual language capable of connecting with the viewer through contemplation and emotion.
