Description :

A masterclass in stylized abstraction and tonal harmony, Soleil by Elba Alvarez is a limited edition chromolithograph numbered 44 out of 125 and hand-signed in pencil by the artist. Measuring an impressive 4 feet wide by 2.75 feet high, this evocative composition fuses serene color gradients with architectural curves to create a meditative landscape grounded in both realism and abstraction.

Executed in gentle layers of peach, teal, sage, and sun-washed earth tones, Soleil evokes the sensation of early light rising over mirrored water and undulating hills. Alvarez’s refined palette and soft-edged forms invite emotional introspection and spatial stillness—a signature characteristic of her landscape-inspired works.

The composition combines lyrical horizon lines with misty cloud textures and negative space to craft a visual rhythm both grounded and ephemeral. The title, Soleil (French for “sun”), is especially apt given the ambient luminosity suffused across the scene, suggesting warmth, passage, and tranquil reflection.
