Carmen Carpena
The Boy and his stray dog
This original painting on canvas portrays a surreal urban landscape with angular, overlapping beige buildings, evocative of an abstract city scene. The architecture features stark, linear designs, creating a sense of depth and complexity.
Black windows punctuate the facades, contributing to a mysterious ambience. In the foreground, two figures—a person and a dog—add a touch of narrative and scale to the composition's spatial dynamics.
The background reveals a contrasting red brick building with a vintage Coca-Cola advertisement, adding nostalgia. Street lamps are strategically placed, casting subtle light, enhancing the enigmatic atmosphere.
The limited color palette, predominantly earthy tones with hints of black and red, unifies the piece while emphasizing its geometric precision.
The artwork blends realism with abstraction, inviting viewers to explore its layered structures and hidden stories.
