Oil on canvas of realistic aesthetics in which the author recreates a beach, specifically the shore. In it you can appreciate a game of transparencies and reflections that the author achieves with the use of tones, which capture the movement of receding waves breaking against the sand. She uses a range of cold colors that she combines with some warm ones to create a contrasting and vaporous atmosphere.
Cati Lanza began her academic training with a degree in Fine Arts at the University of Valencia. Where she specialized in painting. Later she did a Doctorate dedicated to photography at the Complutense University of Madrid.

His painting is characterized by an aesthetic of realistic character where you can appreciate a great influence of photography, although not from a cold and objective approach but transferring an atmosphere of reverie to the painting. In fact, he has declared in El Correo Gallego "painting for me is a necessity, a means of expression, a way to disconnect and even a form of meditation. When I paint, I lose track of time and if days go by without me doing it, I have a bad time".
