About This Work
In *CANTO IX. The Furies*, Jordi Díaz Alamá reimagines classical myth through a rigorously contemporary figurative language. Working with virtuosic draughtsmanship and a painter’s command of chiaroscuro, Alamá builds the composition in layered oil passages that fuse anatomical precision with baroque drama. The Furies—ancient embodiments of vengeance—are rendered as psychologically charged presences, their motion and musculature sculpted by decisive brushwork and finely tuned tonal contrasts.

Bridging academic technique and modern existential intensity, the work situates Díaz Alamá within the renewed international interest in narrative painting and the cultural afterlives of antiquity.
