His love for painting and his quest for a personal language of his own led Miguel Ángel Campano to try out different paths throughout his career. In all of them he took his lead from some of the great masters. In his youth he focused on the , mostly Gerardo Rueda (1926-1996) and Gustavo Torner (1925); he later met José Guerrero (1914-1991), who, from the late 1970s onwards, would become his guide.

The work in hand ought to be ascribed to the end of his earliest period, when he was already exhibiting regularly at the Juana Mordó gallery. It was at the opening of one of his shows, in 1974—precisely the same year he painted this Untitled piece—when he met José Guerrero, a circumstance which, together with his sojourn in Paris, would lead to a change in style, causing it to become more expressive and gestural. That said, his works from the mid-seventies reveal that Campano’s practice was still akin to the overall line of the School of Cuenca, fully immersed in with a carefully devised composition.

This work comes from the series La Ventana, made between 1973 and 1974, in which Campano worked on large-format compositions with flat and well-defined colours, based on geometric forms and playing with the tension generated by the diagonals, wisely balanced—as in this piece—in the work as a whole.

In short, this work is a masterful demonstration of order and compositional play by a great artist.
