Description from the seller
This work by Juan Antonio Espinosa stands as a direct statement about the female body understood not as an object, but as a territory of tension, power, and vulnerability. The frontal nudity, far from any decorative complacency, is presented with an almost defiant honesty: the figure looks at the viewer with a mix of serenity, control, and absolute awareness of her presence.
Oil on canvas combines a carefully constructed anatomical realism with a bold, gestural intervention in the background. Intense reds, dragged blacks, and fractured whites do not function as mere context, but as an emotional extension of the body. The painting seems to bleed, throb, and breathe around the figure, reinforcing the idea that the physical and the emotional are inseparable. The loose, almost violent brushwork contrasts with the delicacy of the light transitions in the skin, creating a constant visual tension that keeps the gaze captivated.
From a curatorial reading, this work dialogues with the tradition of the classical nude to subvert it. Here there is no passive idealization: there is living flesh, identity, and a sexuality that does not seek approval. The body asserts itself in its imperfection and its strength, becoming a symbol of autonomy and conscious desire.
It is a piece that transforms any space where it is installed. It does not merely accompany; it leads. It demands to be looked at, interpreted, and felt. For the collector, it represents a work of strong emotional and visual impact, capable of sparking conversation, reflection, and an intimate connection with those who inhabit it day after day.
Certificates of authenticity will be sent along with the artwork only in sales exceeding 500 euros.
Purchasing this painting means betting on an intense, uncompromising work that doesn't seek to please everyone, but to stake its claim in a collection with character, personality, and curatorial courage.
