"Red Woods" offers a vibrant and imaginative journey into a stylized forest. Towering, almost sentient, red tree trunks dominate the foreground, their surfaces alive with streaks of purple and brown, suggesting both strength and an inner vibrancy. The forest floor is a mosaic of colorful shapes and textures, from smooth, cool blues and grays to warmer oranges and greens, hinting at the diverse life within this woodland. The composition is bold and playful, with a clear departure from realism, inviting viewers to experience the woods through a lens of heightened color and imaginative form.
Moving beyond the immediate trees, the painting opens into a layered landscape of undulating red hills beneath a canopy of abstract foliage. The upper portion of the canvas explodes with a kaleidoscope of blues, greens, and yellows, rendered in geometric and organic shapes that suggest leaves, light filtering through branches, and the intricate patterns of nature. There's a sense of depth created through the overlapping planes of color, yet the overall effect remains joyfully two-dimensional. "Red Woods" is a celebration of nature's beauty, filtered through Alba's unique and expressive artistic vision, evoking a feeling of wonder and enchantment.
