Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Titled on the back.
- This oil painting, datable to around 1950, presents itself as an ambitious cosmogonic representation where the sun is not just a celestial body, but the absolute axis that governs the order of the universe. The work abandons traditional figuration to embrace a geometric abstraction with a constructivist bent, where the sun appears as a dense, multifaceted mass, a vibrant mosaic of chromatic tesserae that seem to pulsate with nuclear energy. Regarding the structure of the cosmos, the composition is organized by an orthogonal grid that fragments at the center to give way to an expansive ovoid shape. This solar nucleus, composed of a multitude of rectangles with generous impastos, suggests a totalizing vision; we do not see the sun from Earth, but its physical and spiritual essence dominating the emptiness of the sky, which is suggested at the margins of a worn, textured white.
- Image dimensions without frame: 52 x 72 cm / 65 x 86 cm with exclusive custom frame.
