Tarrassó's work is characterized by the great personality of its coloring. His obsession for the chromatism determines a deeply sensorial, vitalist and intuitive painting. In many of his works, the painter focuses above all on capturing an image that stages the fullness of life recreated and without solution of continuity, worrying more about it than about the demands of the composition. Thus, in his landscapes, architectures appear fully integrated in a harmonious nature, as simple colored spots with undefined limits, or with defined but deformed limits.
