Description from the seller
RAMON AZUL, Mixed media, Acrylic painting · Digital painting · Hand-signed · 2026
The body folds in on itself completely, knees drawn to the chest, arms crossed around the legs, forehead resting in the hollow of the knee in a sleep-dazed surrender. The figure occupies almost the entire frame, sculptural, full, with not a single wrinkle in the clothing: a uniform scarlet red runs from the nape of the neck to the toes, shaped only by black shadows stretched along the hip, the back, and the crooks of the elbows. The hair, a matte black flat, frames the face with closed eyelids and gives it the weight of a statue. Around it, the ultramarine blue background vibrates with brushstrokes still visible, lighter at the edges, almost night toward the center, pushing the red mass forward. Light comes from nowhere: it is in the color itself. In the bottom right, a white hand-drawn monogram signs the work. This curled figure celebrates the fold as a quiet strength — skin become state of mind, the body reduced to a pure plastic sign. It extends Mexican modernity, the flesh-color of Rufino Tamayo and the monumental nudes of Francisco Zúñiga, crossed with the flat saturations of a contemporary pop gaze.
Technique mixte : peinture acrylique sur estampe à encre pigmentée, vernis mat à la bombe.
Vernis appliqués à la main, pour l’éclat des ors et la protection durable de l’œuvre.
Support : toile premium tendue sur châssis bois, prête à accrocher.
Format : 40 x 40 cm.

RAMON AZUL is one of the creations bringing together the artists Le Yack, Neo Pablo and Popsan within Atelier Joconde, a family studio where three sensibilities coexist: neo-realism, pop, and free figuration. Under the name RAMON AZUL, the Atelier explores stylized nude in the manner of Mexican modernity: monochrome bodies in saturated flat colors, full and sculptural forms, pure color backgrounds, gravely serene faces.
RAMON AZUL brings together nude figures with colored bodies, blue, red, ocher, curled up or entwined, where the skin becomes a state of mind and the body, a pure plastic sign. The through-line: a dialogue between the heritage of the Mexican school and a contemporary pop gaze, where the painterly matter enhances and transfigures the printed image.
Each work is a unique piece.
