Francesc Calvet - L'us de la costum

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

In L'us de la costum, Francesc Calvet constructs a scene of great evocative power where a chess pawn, sheltered under an umbrella, remains suspended above a thin line dividing an immense blue sky from a sea of clouds, while a ladder emerges towards an uncertain destiny. With the precision and poetic language that characterize his work, the artist transforms everyday objects into open metaphors about fragility, destiny, protection, and human aspiration. The apparent simplicity of the composition, dominated by silence and balance, intensifies its surrealist dimension and turns the empty space into a stage for contemplation. A painting of great visual elegance and conceptual depth, especially attractive to collectors of contemporary art, surrealism, and works with strong symbolic meaning.
