Place
Place is a painting of monumental character, maintained in a subdued color scheme dominated by grays and dark tones. The composition depicts an interior of undefined purpose, in which the central place is occupied by an empty table. The atmosphere of the work is full of contemplation and silence, and the presence of subtle details, such as light entering through the window, intensifies the sense of intimacy and reflection.
