Munch está a la derecha de la imagen (2005) Peinture par Roberto Rivas

This painting presents a scene with two human figures situated at the bottom. They are seated with their faces partially covered by their hands, smoking cigarettes.
In the background, an intense crimson red tone predominates, enveloping two figures; there are variations in the tonality that suggest depth or movement in the atmosphere. There is a dark shape, like a silhouette of a lamp suspended at the top. The composition is somewhat asymmetrical, with the figures arranged in such a way that they direct the gaze towards the interior of the scene. The work evokes an atmosphere of mystery and introspection. The posture of the figures projects a contemplative emotional state. The shape on the right in the foreground adds a sense of mystery.
The palette is predominantly red in different shades, from dark red almost brown to a more vivid red, with touches of yellowish in the lower right, which seem to dimly illuminate the scene. Dark tones, brown and black, define the figures. The subtle contrast of colours between the reddish tones and the muted yellows in the figures contributes to the feeling of darkness and emotional restraint. The absence of a defined environment reinforces the feeling of isolation and introspection in the figures. The brushwork is loose and gestural, giving the work great texture.
The painting is an abstract and expressionist representation of an emotionally intense situation, conveying a feeling of contained sadness, unrevealed secrets and deep internal reflection. The dark atmosphere and the use of the colour red amplify the feeling of drama in a sombre and oppressive atmosphere. The work invites contemplation and personal analysis about loneliness, and the expression of repressed emotions. Its strength lies in its ability to evoke emotions, rather than in telling an explicit story.
