About this artwork
Desert is an evocative exploration of the gradations of red hues, transitioning from light tones at the top to the most intense ones, culminating in the darkest shades at the bottom. Despite its referential title, its abstraction defies any specific reference to place or time, rendering it timeless and placeless. The true subject of the painting is Ribal’s ability to fuse different gradations of red, like a seamless musical composition. The brushstrokes are so well integrated that they form a soft fusion of red hues in which the viewer can plunge and get lost into.
