In this work the artist plays with the different textures of oil, combining an abstract composition with figuration. Concentrating in one work the painter's universe, which is defined by the representation of a man, which is arranged in the lower right area. In fact, the most important areas of the work seem to start from the protagonist man, as if through his imagination, he created his own environment.
