Description from the seller
La Métaphore du Silence# 09 — EA01
Limited series: 1/6 + 2 artist's proofs (EA)
The body folds inward here, adopting a retreating posture, almost sculpted by light.
The line of the back, the curve of the hips and the tilt of the neck compose an image of silence, density, and restraint.
The whole rests on a simple tension between sensuous softness and formal construction.
An intimate, sober and timeless presence, where the figure becomes almost pure volume.
Collector Edition — Atelier Alonso
Image format: 30 × 30 cm
Sheet format: 40 × 50 cm
Pigment Fine Art print (museum quality)
Paper: Fine Art Litho Archiv Matte
Signed, numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity
Secure shipping — frame not included
✧ Creative process
Hybrid creative process: an image built by the artist through composition, retouching and visual transformation work, in order to refine the sculptural presence of the body, the quality of light and the overall balance of the image.
About the artist
Born in Havana in 1972, Alonso is a Cuban-Spanish visual artist whose trajectory links cinema, photography and contemporary image. Trained in Madrid, he began in cinema as an assistant director and cameraman, collaborating notably with Bertrand Fèvre, Pedro Almodóvar and José Luis García Sánchez. This passage through cinema permanently marks his relationship to framing, to silence and to rhythm. Based in Arles, he now develops a visual body of work present in private collections in Europe, Asia and the United States.
