A. Ascencio - Contratiempo - XL

"Contratiempo" is part of the series "Ritmos", a set of works that explore movement, music and the body as a space of expression and freedom.
The figure appears captured in a moment of maximum tension, when balance depends on the next step. The tilted posture, the torsion of the torso and the direction of the legs build a dynamic composition where the movement remains suspended.
The painting reduces space to large planes of intense color to concentrate all attention on the gesture. The vibrant yellow of the background, the deep blue of the body and the pink and orange accents generate a strong chromatic contrast that amplifies the sense of energy. The brushstroke, visible and decisive, preserves the immediacy of the process and turns color into the main constructor of volume.
The work proposes a reflection on the body as a territory of rhythm, identity and presence, where every gesture leaves a mark and every movement contains an expressive possibility.

Brief Bio: I am especially interested in creating compositions that offer the viewer a point of view from which they can identify. Whether through discomfort, serenity or contemplation, my aim is to generate a space for reflection and questioning. At the painting level, I am drawn to vibrant colors, marked saturations and fresh tonal ranges.
I find a great source of inspiration in observing our social and natural environment. I often like to imagine that I am observing the planet from very far away; that symbolic distance allows me to rethink reality from another perspective. I also explore the realm of femininity, addressing its multiple dimensions from a personal, sensitive and introspective gaze.
