Structural Omission

Tablas de Daimiel I

Tablas de Daimiel I renders an open wetland field and distant low hills with pale sky and cream passages, while exposed Venetian red ground breaks through the field as structural architecture. These interruptions hold perceptual limits visible at the surface: the painting does not deliver a complete account of the place. The composition rests in the collision between resolved distance and bare ground that redirects how the viewer orients in the scene. Painted at Tablas de Daimiel National Park during the Arte y Naturaleza residency (2026), this work opens the wetland suite where Structural Omission operates in landscape rather than figure.
