The painted architecture of Carles Nadal is the result of capturing colour, a pure fauvist approach, and great chromatic intensity and strength. Thick, synthetic profiles with direct shades of black or primary colours suggest the volume of the buildings, the streets and the urbanistic composition of the city. The tridimensional nature of the painting is down to the force of colour in the representations of the volumes and spaces. Carles Nadal lived in Brussels and he said he discovered the effects of light and colour in the Nordic countries.
