Within Irene Grau’s usual interest in alternating symbols, landscapes, heights and concepts, the Triangle series plays with a basic form, a kind of peak standing out in nature, which she highlights with paint pigments. Therefore, this composition, which is simultaneously a landscape and a painting, is also an action where this young lover of paths and forests plays with the scales, colour palettes and heights to highlight dichotomies Here, the triangle is an abstract figure, as natural as it is artificial; the painting points to a specific place through a minimal intervention on nature. There are twelve peaks because the action was repeated twelve times. Symmetries, ironies, poetic reflections: the peak as landscape but also as painting and as mountain.
