“Princess with Umbrella” (2021), presents a striking exploration of ambiguity and minimalism. With its faceless figure, vibrant flames, and subdued tones, it juxtaposes surreal danger with calm detachment. This piece exemplifies Jordi Ribes’ tendency to disrupt clear interpretations, inviting the viewer into a layered narrative where meanings are elusive. By simplifying the figure and relying on the tension between the visual elements, the work emphasizes emotional detachment and introspection, subtly provoking the imagination and evoking a uniquely personal reaction to its dreamlike yet unsettling scene.
