THE WORK:
Esfinge 3 encuentro (2020) is a limited edition etching and soft ground engraving (1/20), manually printed in the artist’s workshop on Ivory-toned Etching Paper-Art. The work presents a surreal composition where the elements dialogue with each other: at the top, a sphinx inspired by the one at the Museum of Archaeology of Madrid emerges facing forward against a cloudy background that opens to the light. A subtle diagonal line separates this plane from the lower area, where two figures converse, evoking a casual encounter. The piece combines refined technique with symbolic charge, imparting uniqueness and collectible value.
This work comes with a certificate of authenticity with a photograph of the piece, dated and hand-signed by the artist.
The shipment is made with the artwork properly protected between boards. 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.
