Amafil Coast (2026)Acrylic painting by Juan Jose Garay

This action painting unfolds as an explosion of pure energy captured at the very instant of the gesture. The surface is entirely taken over by a frenetic network of lines, splashes, and drips that intersect in multiple directions, creating a sensation of continuous movement and limitless expansion. There is no single focal point; the viewer’s gaze is compelled to travel across the entire canvas, moving from one end to the other as if following the trace of a chaotic and visceral dance.

The color palette is intense and vibrant. Electric yellows, acidic greens, deep blues, and fiery oranges dominate, layered one over another in successive applications. These combinations generate dynamic contrasts that provide depth and visual rhythm. Darker tones—such as blacks and navy blues—act as an underlying structure that supports the chromatic outburst above, while splashes of white add luminosity and breathing space, preventing the composition from becoming overwhelming.

The technique reveals a physical and spontaneous process. One can perceive streams of paint flung with force, long lines drawn with sweeping arm movements, and small dispersed droplets suggesting quick, decisive splatters. The paint appears to have been applied through both gravity and bodily impulse, allowing chance to converse with intention. There are areas where colors blend organically and others where they remain clearly distinct, intensifying the tension between control and chaos.

At the center of the canvas, there seems to be a slightly greater concentration of warm tones—pinks, oranges, and yellows—suggesting a kind of energetic core. From there, the lines expand toward the edges, as if the painting were depicting the radiation of an inner force. However, this centrality is neither rigid nor geometric; rather, it is an intuitive accumulation that reinforces the feeling of organic expansion.

Texture is another fundamental element. The layering creates variations in relief and thickness. Some lines appear thick and impasto-like, while others are thin and almost transparent. This tactile contrast suggests a prolonged process in which each layer adds memory and depth to the previous one. The viewer can almost imagine the sound of paint hitting the surface and the physical movement of the artist circling the canvas.

Overall, the work conveys emotional intensity and vitality. It does not seek to represent recognizable objects or tell a concrete story; its language is purely gestural and abstract. The painting thus becomes a record of an action, a testament to a creative moment in which body, color, and space merge into a direct and unmediated experience. It is a celebration of movement, chance, and the energy contained in the very act of painting.
