After his early works within the confines of , in the late seventies one can discern how the pure pleasure of painting takes possession of the canvas. He assimilated and fused Impressionism, ,   and US abstraction with an immersion in Mediterranean landscapes, which he engaged with thanks to the teachings of his master Juan Bonafé (1901-1969). The end result is a painting based primarily on colour, light and brushwork.

Albacete generally works in thematic series of paintings he explores at great length. Particularly noteworthy among these are those dedicated to the painter’s studio, to bathers and to Narcissus.

Geometry is downplayed in favour of a greater presence of light, and from the nineties onwards, the figure, still life and landscape become the central subject matters in his painting, in some cases leaning towards abstraction.

Tormenta is an excellent rendition of that subjective feeling that also underlies . Through a play of spiral-shaped forms, Albacete defines a disturbing space centred around a vortex, in this case caused by a storm. With a structure highly similar to that of Narciso I, also in the BBVA Collection, here the artist has replaced water with wind although sticking to a very similar palette.
