THE WORK:
Esfinge 3 encuentro (2020) is a line etching/aquatint in a limited edition (1/20), handcrafted in the artist's workshop on ivory-toned Grabado-Arte paper. The work presents a surreal composition where the elements converse with one another: at the top, a sphinx inspired by the one in the Museo Arqueológico de Madrid emerges facing the viewer against a cloudy background that opens to light. A subtle diagonal line separates this plane from the lower area, where two figures converse, evoking a casual meeting. The piece blends refined technique with symbolic charge, lending it uniqueness and collectible value.
This work ships with a certificate of authenticity featuring a photograph of the piece, 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.
