Golden Study

“Golden Study” captures a fleeting intimacy, a direct gaze held within a loosely rendered field of color. The artist’s handling of pigment is immediate, building form with layered strokes that suggest warmth and a sun-drenched presence. A muted palette of ochre, cream, and cool blues creates a sense of quiet observation, drawing the viewer into the animal’s contemplative stillness. This is not a portrait of idealized beauty, but a study in character—a fleeting moment of connection with one of the stray cats of Alp, a small town in La Cerdanya, Catalonia. The work evokes a sense of place, a feeling of gentle observation, and the particular dignity found in everyday life. It is a tender tribute to the quiet companions who share our spaces.
