For Beulas, landscape—a “lived, deeply-felt landscape”—is the sole focus of his painting.

This is an example of his mature work, at a moment when both subject matter and palette are imbued with the colour and texture of the plateau in Huesca. These were the years when he alternated his residence between Madrid, Barcelona, Torla, Santa Coloma de Farnés and Huesca, before deciding to settle his studio definitively in this last-named town in Aragon.

During this period, the artist used black and white photographs he developed himself as a way of capturing images of the landscape in Huesca that would become the focal point of his creation.

This particular view shows arable land on the foothills of the Pyrenees in Upper Aragon. Using ochre and black tones, he composes a space in which the landscape is still evident, far distant from other later paintings when the horizon line is the only element dividing strips of colour depicting the sky and the ground. The high horizon here lends a greater focus to the ochre ground.
