Figures In Red Forest – Attributed To Jacoba Martínez Millán

Description
This evocative mixed media composition, signed and dated 2002, is attributed to Jacoba Martínez Millán and presents a surreal vision of two intertwined figures floating within a vivid forest of crimson and ochre. The scene radiates warmth and motion, as blurred washes of red and green bleed into textured paper, giving the trees a flame-like intensity. Black calligraphic lines suggest trunks and limbs, anchoring the ethereal bodies mid-air—perhaps dancers, lovers, or spirits. A vertical streak of green bisects the image like a beam of light, offering balance and mystique. With its lyrical abstraction and emotionally charged palette, the painting recalls the expressive traditions of post-war Spanish modernism. Ideal for collectors seeking rare and soulful compositions, and a striking choice for interior designers aiming to bring symbolic depth and saturated warmth into sophisticated living spaces.
