“Autumn Scatter: Study of Fallen Leaves” – Oil Painting Signed P. Fuegas (European, Late 20th Century)

Autumn Scatter is a beautifully detailed 9x12–inch original oil painting signed P. Fuegas, acquired in Europe and representative of late-20th-century European botanical realism. This richly atmospheric work features an exquisite arrangement of fallen autumn leaves—rendered with hyper-detailed veining, natural textures, and shimmering water droplets that appear almost photographic in their precision.

The artist’s controlled layering, luminous coloration, and deep contrasting shadows create a sense of movement and seasonal transition. This painting blends European naturalist realism, contemporary botanical artistry, and a hint of stylistic surrealism, making it ideal for collectors of nature-focused fine art, European realism, and mid-century continental painting.

While the artist P. Fuegas is not widely documented, the technical mastery suggests formal training and a practiced hand within the European realist tradition. The work’s quality, condition, and provenance make it a notable addition to any curated collection.

DETAILED ARTWORK DESCRIPTION (9x12 in.)

This intimate 9x12–inch oil-on-canvas captures a vivid carpet of autumn leaves scattered across a dark forest floor. Rendered with exceptional precision, each leaf displays delicate veining, color variation, and small droplets of water, giving the composition a lifelike, almost hyperreal presence. Vibrant purples, rust reds, soft pinks, evergreen shades, and warm golds are juxtaposed against deep shadowed foliage beneath—creating an interplay of depth, surface tension, and botanical detail.

The artist employs a realist–naturalist style with decorative surreal undertones, evident in the heightened color palette and the rhythmic arrangement of leaves. While rooted in representational European realism of the late 20th century, the work’s meticulous surface and clean contours also reflect the influence of illustrative naturalism and contemporary botanical art.

The technique suggests slow layering, glazing, and finely pointed brushwork to achieve the dimensional water droplets and the near-textured surface of each leaf. The signature “P. Fuegas” appears subtly along the lower edge of the composition.

ABOUT THE ARTIST – P. FUEGAS (RESEARCH SUMMARY)

Attributed to / Circle of a Late-20th-Century European Realist Painter Signing as “P. Fuegas.”

  • The technique reflects formal training, likely in academic realism or European naturalist schools active from the 1960s–1990s.

  • The palette and brush control suggest familiarity with central or southern European landscape traditions, particularly Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese regional workshops where botanical realism was popular.

  • The quality and confident mark-making indicate an artist who worked professionally, even if not widely archived in public databases.

  • The painting’s European acquisition (1960–1980s, per your notes on the larger collection) supports the mid-late 20th-century attribution.
