This painting, Hora Amarilla [Yellow Hour], immerses the viewer in a radiant field of golden yellow, subtly transitioning to lighter shades as the eye moves upward. The colors evoke the warm glow of sunlight at dusk or dawn, capturing the fleeting nature of light at a specific time of day.

The light seems to pulse from within the canvas, echoing the artist’s exploration of light as an essential element of form.

The light seems to pulse from within the canvas, echoing the artist’s exploration of light as an essential element of form.
Compared to Somos Luz, this work continues the artist's investigation of light but focuses more on the ephemeral nature of time. While both paintings share a similar palette of warm yellows, Hora Amarilla is more atmospheric, invoking a sense of calm and introspection, much like the later works of J.M.W. Turner, who similarly captured the transient effects of light. The smooth blending of color and the subtle interplay of form and light create a meditative space where the viewer is invited to contemplate the beauty and impermanence of light.
