Description
Nagold Valley Dam
Oil on canvas, 120 x 90 cm
In Nagold Valley Dam, Arturo Laime captures a serene landscape bathed in crystalline light. The tranquil river reflects the harmony of the surrounding houses and hills, their geometry softened by the lush greenery of summer. The composition balances precision and spontaneity — a study in rhythm, structure, and the interplay between nature and human presence. Laime’s brushwork, vivid and layered, brings a tactile energy to the surface; his chromatic palette — rich in greens, ochres and aquamarine tones — infuses the scene with a sense of renewal and clarity.
Beyond its formal harmony, the painting evokes a meditative stillness. The viewer senses the quiet pulse of life in a small valley, where the human and the natural coexist without conflict. The calm reflection on the water becomes a metaphor for inner balance — a moment of pause amid the movement of time. It is an image of belonging, suggesting both nostalgia and peace, as if the land itself were whispering stories of continuity and home.
This work belongs to Tales of the Black Forest, a series in which the artist transforms his adopted surroundings into visual narratives of contemplation and transformation. Through his distinct use of colour and light, Laime reveals the profound emotional resonance hidden within everyday landscapes.
This painting was featured on the artist’s Solo Show “Hiden treasures: Black Forest through Latin American eyes” at Altes Rathaus in Gernsbach, Germany, in 2021.
