P/A. artist’s proof
Line etching.

THE WORK:
Esfinge 2 paseante P/A (2020) is a line etching on a zinc plate, manually printed in the artist’s workshop. This artist’s proof is part of a very limited edition.
The surreal-leaning work combines recognizable elements to build an evocative scene: a sphinx inspired by the façade of the Museo Arqueológico de Madrid dominates the composition, while a passerby, with their back to the viewer, advances toward it from an open and enigmatic space.
Made on Papel Grabado-Arte in wheat tone (46.5 × 35.5 cm), this piece stands out for its technical quality and symbolic atmosphere, ideal for collectors of contemporary graphic art.
This work is sent with a certificate of authenticity featuring a photograph of the work, dated and hand-signed by the artist.
Shipping is done with the work properly protected between cardboard. Not rolled.

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.
