Description:
- An oil painting on cardboard depicting a landscape; signed. Unframed.
- The artist, Pedro Soriano Moll (1948–2024), was a renowned painter, sculptor, and creator of *hogueras* (monumental sculptures for the Alicante *Hogueras de San Juan* festival) from Alicante. He is considered one of the four great master artisans of these *hogueras*, alongside figures such as Gastón Castelló and Remigio Soler.
- His personal style was so distinctive and revolutionary within the *hogueras* art form that experts coined the term 'Sorianismo' to describe it. He was noted for his meticulous attention to detail and realism, in addition to his work as an easel painter and portraitist.
- The artist demonstrates a mastery of three-dimensional composition. Given his technical background in working with volume—gained in the *hogueras* workshops—his oil brushstrokes are typically bold, featuring firm textures and a strong sense of visual balance.
- The artistic quality and execution are high. Characterized by thick, fluid brushstrokes, the work possesses a remarkable sense of vibrancy.
- The details and the use of color in this oil painting are truly magnificent.
