This piece is part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of libraries, a theme close to her heart, where she delves into the representation of books and knowledge through a controlled abstraction. The artwork stands out due to its geometric composition, where the books are depicted as rectangular, colorful shapes, arranged across several shelves. Each shelf seems to be formed from a harmonious palette of colors, ranging from warm oranges and reds to cooler blues and greens, creating a rich and varied visual dynamic.

The texture of the paint, generous and thick, enhances the tactile effect of the painting. The visible brushstrokes and flat color areas give the piece an almost sculptural quality, adding depth and volume to the overall composition. This play of colors serves both as a means to structure the work and to suggest an underlying harmony between different shades, like a visual melody. The variety of colors evokes the diversity of knowledge and stories contained in books, offering the viewer an experience that is both aesthetic and thought-provoking. See less
