Musée des Aigles Modernes 22 (Brenda)
A personal photograph functions as the affective matrix of the portrait, transforming an intimate moment into a constructed pictorial scene.
The work is structured through Cubist-inflected fragmentation and chromatic restraint, fusing ground and figure while shifting the image between memory and stylized presence.
Within “The Paintings Section from Davis Museum Barcelona”, it situates contemporary figurative painting between modernist syntax and cinematic narrative.

Product Details
Inspired by a personal photograph taken by the collector himself of his partner during a moment of enjoyment—having coffee—on a terrace in the Gràcia district, “Musée des Aigles Modernes 22 (Brenda)” presents an affective portrait that fuses a Cubist-inspired background with contemporary figuration. The figure emerges against a geometric backdrop of fragmented triangles that evoke a landscape’s colors and recall the analytic syntax of Cubism. This abstract decor not only replaces the original setting but merges with the subject’s red jacket, creating a transition between ornamental surface and corporeal presence. Using a reduced palette—white, ochre, red, and black, with a purple accent on the pendant—the painting channels the chromatic discipline of Anders Zorn and the stylization of Alex Katz’s portraits. As part of “The Paintings Section from Davis Museum Barcelona,” the work balances the theatricality of modern painting with the narrative sensibility of cinematic imagery.
