AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Artist: Juan Álvarez, Spanish painter.
He currently resides and works on the outskirts of Madrid.

Title: Vuelo Raso
Medium: Oil on canvas.
Dimensions: 116 × 81 × 2 cm

Signature: Signed by the artist in the lower right corner

In "Vuelo Raso" we are presented with a scene that challenges logic and the traditional perception of art. The central figure is a mime who, with his monochromatic presence, becomes the focal point of a colorless landscape as well. This choice reinforces the surreal atmosphere, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a nearly dreamlike visual experience. What really stands out are the macaws, painted in vibrant colors that interrupt the monotonous surroundings. These birds not only add dynamism to the composition but also symbolize a contrast between verbal and nonverbal communication, between the real and the imaginary. The work leads us to reflect on the role of art as a medium to transcend the barriers of reality, evoking questions about the nature of perception and meaning.

The artwork is in good conservation condition.
Includes an authenticity certificate with a photograph of the work, dated and hand-signed by the artist.

Shipping is carried out with the artwork mounted on its original frame and properly protected.

Seller's Story

Juan Álvarez Cebrián, a Spanish painter with a long career. His work is based on figurative and realist styles and also touches on abstract art. He currently lives and works on the outskirts of Madrid. A passionate advocate of drawing. His themes are varied; he does not like to be pigeonholed into a single subject. He works with the figure, landscape, nature subjects, even surrealism. A staunch defender of good technique in art, he has studied the great masters and, for that reason, was a copyist of works at the Prado Museum in Madrid for a few years.
