Urubamba
Bernard Boujol
The title Urubamba refers to a river flowing through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, identified by the artist as the symbolic source of the Amazon — a place of deep historical, cultural, and emotional resonance.
The painting stands out with its dynamic yet orderly and deliberate composition, marked by a distinct rhythm and arrangement of forms. A bold painterly gesture and an intense color palette translate into a strong emotional charge. The artist skillfully balances between instinct and conscious construction, creating a composition full of tension yet guided by a clear internal logic.
For Bernard Boujol, painting is a means of recording emotional states — filtered through personal perception and inscribed in layers of colored matter. His abstractions form a space of tensions, filled with meaningful yet ambiguous signs that invite reflection and encourage individual interpretation.
