"Intermezzo in Green" Large Scale Acrylic, Pencil & Oil Pastel Painting 60"x84"

Intermezzo in Green, 2026, 84" H x 60" W, is a monumental contemporary abstract painting by Argentine-born artist Karina Gentinetta (featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Frederic, House Beautiful, The New York Times, Veranda, Luxe Interiors, and Introspective Magazine, among others). Executed in acrylic, charcoal, pencil, and oil pastel on canvas, the work continues the artist's celebrated Green series with a quieter, more contemplative rhythm.

Borrowing its title from music, Intermezzo represents a lyrical pause between larger movements. Two organic forms emerge across an expansive field of warm ivory, connected by expressive gestures, delicate graphite lines, and richly textured passages of deep green and black. The composition unfolds gradually, balancing energy with restraint and inviting the viewer into a moment of reflection.

Built through successive layers of painting, drawing, erasure, and revision, the surface retains the history of its making. Thick impasto contrasts with whisper-soft pencil lines and translucent washes, creating a dynamic interplay between movement and stillness, density and openness. The nuanced palette of moss, olive, forest, and celadon greens lends the painting a timeless quality while allowing its expressive mark-making to take center stage.

Like much of Gentinetta's work, Intermezzo in Green suggests landscape without depicting one and evokes emotion without narrative. Its architectural composition, sophisticated palette, and museum-scale presence allow it to serve as a striking focal point while maintaining a quiet elegance suited to contemporary, minimalist, and traditional interiors.
