Piano 

José Garnelo painted 'Piano' with oil on canvas, a symphony of tonal harmony with the piano as its central motif. The artwork's composition and shape evoke a sense of muted stillness, inviting contemplation of the subtle interplay between light and shadow. The color palette is deliberately restrained, dominated by earthen tones and the piano's deep blacks, punctuated by glimpses of white and gold, creating a visual language that speaks to absence and the poetics of space. Notice how the artist uses the brushstrokes to define shape, building form through textured surfaces, to evoke both materiality and ephemerality. This interplay is very interesting. The texture and space in Garnelo's painting challenge fixed perspectives, creating a viewing experience in which the piano is both present and receding. This work explores the dynamic relation between object and environment, and ultimately the essence of artistic representation.
