Carola Castro (XX) - The Lady who Waits

- Oil on board.

- The Waiting Woman knows nothing of time: she knows the tides of desire, the elevators descending toward underwater gardens, the red music rising from the body when no one returns. Her eyes—two hotels burning in the desert—call to the wolves, the lost lovers, the sailors who forgot the way back. And while the world sweetly rots beneath the streetlights, she remains motionless, beautiful and poisonous, like the last flower growing on the highway toward the end of the dream.

- Image dimensions, unframed: 45 x 54 cm / 64 x 73 cm with an exclusive custom-made frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique, original, and one of a kind. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, creative vision, and masterful technique—qualities that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are individually created pieces by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and for this reason, every painting or sculpture in our collection is carefully selected to ensure its uniqueness. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning a one-of-a-kind piece, an investment in creativity and talent that will retain its artistic and emotional value over time. We are proud to offer works that not only enhance spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work leaving our gallery is unique in the world, with no replicas, and is a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the artwork’s authenticity and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and one-of-a-kind artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and confidence with every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate confirms that the work purchased has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and state of preservation. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as its artist, date of creation, technique, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued at the client’s request, providing an official reference for the piece purchased. This document will be sent in digital format and signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and endorsement.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, and will address any questions about the artwork’s authenticity or condition professionally and promptly. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that every piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specializing in art transportation, who ensure the utmost care throughout the entire process. Please note that the shipping costs indicated in the listing are estimates and may change depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in market transport rates, changes to the delivery location, the artwork’s size and weight, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel price fluctuations or adjustments to customs and import fees. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before shipment. Our goal is to provide the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs, and to ensure that the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the images above has been added to the artwork by a third party or by the seller and is therefore not an integral part of the item. It is provided at no additional cost so that, when the artwork arrives at your home, you can display it on your wall right away. Accordingly, damage to the frame that does not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
