Tribute to Rembrandt

Tribute to Rembrandt

In the original, Rembrandt painted his son, reading. In my version however, I was trying to capture the essence of what made this painter so different from other painters. My tribute to Rembrandt is not meant as a copy of the original with his skill in technique or observation but, although in an semi-abstract manner, to emphasize the mystery and depth he was able to create around his images. Oil on canvas / 66.0 x 55.8 cm / 1960    

Sculptor’s Dream

Sculptor’s Dream

In the preparation of a sculpture, the artist is dreaming of the basic structure of a sphinx of which the Egyptians were so well in command. The yellow sand and gold are a symbol of their heritage and the white is a window that has allowed us to experience their culture. Oil on canvas / 101.6 x 81.2 cm / 1960    

Tower of Babylon

Tower of Babylon

A mythical expression of something that is unreachable, we use it symbolically for something that goes over our head and other things we treat at the top while the foundation decays. Oil on canvas / 91.4 x 66.0 cm / 1961
