Abstracto mudéjar 2017

"Abstracto mudéjar" (2017) by Spanish artist Requena Nozal (1947-present) is an abstract painting comprised of a white background with densely packed organic forms outlined in black, and filled with vivid color in blues, reds, greens, and golds. The painting's title references Mudéjar art, a style that emerged in medieval Spain and drew inspiration from Islamic architecture and decorative arts. Nozal's work may be interpreted as a contemporary reimagining of this historical style, utilizing abstract forms and bold colors to evoke a sense of decorative pattern and rhythmic movement.
