La Concha no 1 - 120x200 cm SOLD

La Concha is part of the series of 8 works by award-winning artist Kalle Johansson "Art by KMJ", uniquely created for Japandi Collection's "Art Selection".

In this work of art, we are met with a scene that exudes both strength and refined elegance. In the distance, a majestic mountain rises, its silhouette emerging against a gently undulating sky, capturing the viewer's gaze in an almost meditative contemplation. The foreground is dominated by an abstract water's edge, whose subtle shapes and textures carry with them an almost mystical, enchanting energy. Here, the artist has skillfully played with light and shadow by building up layers of water-based paint with a gentle hand, where thick and thin strokes interact on the surface of the wood fiberboard, creating a deep, tactile dynamic that attracts both visual and emotional touch.

The powerful silhouette of the mountain, honed and defined with both sander and spray paint, gives a sense of monumentality – as if the mountain itself rises from the canvas with a quiet, unwavering strength. The subtle dark brushstrokes, carefully placed, further define its form, conveying a balance between the rawness of nature and the precise, skilled hand of the artist.

Finally, golden details, executed with a Japanese putty tool, add an exclusivity and an almost ethereal glow. The golden accents dance across the rock, like the last rays of the sun at dawn, highlighting the contrast between the dark, rugged rock and the softly colored sky. This subtle, yet powerful use of gold deepens the harmonious contrasts of the work and gives an aura of timeless beauty and majestic tranquility. A work that is truly an expression of both the soul of nature and the artist.
