Created on paper, this mixed media piece balances the waxy weight of oil pastel with the sharp, graphic precision of marker. Herrero avoids literal representation, instead building a unified composition where repetitive forms and unexpected visual juxtapositions suggest the constant, churning energy of a current. The portrait orientation focuses the viewer's eye on the vertical flow, making the river feel like a living presence rather than a distant view.

The work draws on modern art influences to explore how diverse landscape features can mirror complex human emotions. By utilizing dynamic tonal contrasts, Herrero creates a sense of depth that pulls the viewer into the drawing’s rhythmic pulse. The result is an exploration of form and environment that feels both grounded in the physical world and deeply expressive of a private, felt experience.
