Abstraction in Spain in the 1990s was characterized by a resurgence of interest in non-representational forms, with many Spanish artists pushing the boundaries of geometric abstraction, color theory, and material experimentation. The decade saw a diverse range of approaches to abstract art, influenced by earlier 20th-century movements while integrating contemporary concerns such as minimalism, conceptualism, and the exploration of space and time.
Influenced by global minimalism, many Spanish artists in this period embraced simplicity, stripping down form and color to its bare essentials. This led to a focus on the purity of shapes and the relationship between objects and space, often creating contemplative, meditative works.
The exploration of color as a primary element of abstraction remained a vital practice in Spain during the 1990s. Artists in this category were concerned with the emotional, psychological, and sensory effects of color, creating vast expanses of chromatic intensity.
