Francesc Calvet - La Baralla

Acrylic on canvas.
Signed in the lower corner.
Dimensions: 92 x 73 cm.

In La baralla, Francesc Calvet turns to the world of chess to construct a suggestive metaphor about strategy, confrontation, and uncertainty. In a landscape with an infinite horizon, a chess knight remains motionless while, in the sky, the almost ethereal silhouette of a rider seems to vanish between light and clouds, establishing a dialogue between the tangible and the imagined. With a refined composition and a masterful command of empty space, Calvet transforms the chessboard into a poetic stage where each element acquires an open meaning, inviting the viewer to reflect on decisions, destiny, and the balance between reason and intuition. A work of great symbolic power that reflects the artist's unmistakable surrealist language and is of particular interest to collectors of contemporary painting and conceptual art.
