Description from the seller

These five woodcuts by M. González present a series of surrealist architectural compositions where geometry, perspective, and emptiness combine to create enigmatic and evocative atmospheres. Executed in sepia tones, each work conveys a sense of silence and contemplation, as if they were scenes suspended in time.

The depicted structures—columns, platforms, vaulted ceilings, and vertical elements—are arranged in spacious, uncluttered areas, with plays of light and shadow that accentuate depth and mystery. The repetition of forms and the precision of the lines suggest a reflection on monumentality, solitude, and the abstraction of space.

The use of wood engraving techniques lends texture and character to each image, reinforcing its artisanal and expressive dimension. With these pieces, M. González achieves a synthesis between the architectural and the dreamlike, inviting the viewer to explore mental landscapes that defy logic and celebrate imagination. These works could be seen as engaging in dialogue with the universe of De Chirico or Escher, yet possess a unique and contemporary voice.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
