Description from the seller
Luis Javier Ochoa – Central Park, Manhattan – 1997
Oil painting on canvas – 93 × 47 cm – Signed and with handwritten inscriptions on the back
Interesting painting attributed to the Colombian artist Luis Javier Ochoa, depicting a suggestive interpretation of Central Park, in Manhattan, New York.
The work, catalogued as oil on canvas, features a landscape composition rich in figurative elements, characterized by trees, winding paths, vegetation, a central fountain, and numerous bright points that animate the scene.
The painting is distinguished by the use of intense, contrasting colors, with a predominance of greens, yellows, oranges, and browns. The brushstrokes are free, energetic, and tactile, giving the surface a particular expressive liveliness and chromatic depth.
The painterly language appears to be linked to an expressive sensibility, with a personal and interpretive representation of the urban and natural landscape.
Signatures, inscriptions and dating
One aspect of particular interest of the work is the presence of handwritten signatures and inscriptions, both on the front and on the back of the canvas.
On the front, in the lower right corner, there is the signature «Luis Javier».
On the back of the canvas there are additional handwritten inscriptions in Spanish, including:
«Luis Javier Ochoa», full name of the artist.
«Derechos de autor reservados e intransferibles», translated as «Copyright reserved and non-transferable».
«Pintado en Manhattan», meaning «Painted in Manhattan».
«Julio – 1997», indicating the month and year of creation.
There are also additional attributions attributed to the author.
These annotations constitute documentary elements of interest relating to the declared authorship of the work, the place of execution, and its dating.
The reference to Manhattan, reported directly on the back of the canvas, also helps geographically contextualize the subject depicted.
