Alfredo Aya
Presagio - Abstract Painting in Pastel Colors: Orange, Pink, Turquoise

2023

About the Item

Alfredo Aya's Presagio - Omen - is a large 27.5 x 35.5-inch abstract oil painting on canvas. The primary colors are orange, pink and turquoise. The image emanates a beautiful warmth with a dreamy and poetic touch. Aya broke the colors into odd shapes, one moving into the next one. Alfredo Aya’s paintings navigate the delicate boundary between figuration and abstraction and have the delicacy and poetry of a landscape when perceived through the muting effect of a misty morning. Shapes rhythmically appear and disappear through large fields of primary colors, vivid yet subdued, informed by the tropical landscapes and Caribbean seashores of his beloved Colombia. He writes “For me the color is the music of the painting, the grays like the silence of the music unite the colors, which sometimes oppose each other to have more strength or complement each other forming a harmony.” Aya was born in Paris, where he lived until his early twenties, beginning his painting career immersed in the artistic work of modern French masters. After going back to Colombia, living mostly in San Andres Island and Cartagena, he honed his artistic approach. His most figurative paintings bear similarities to Post-Impressionist works by artists like Paul Gauguin, especially in the choice of colors and a synthetist style. In his most abstract paintings, Aya combines geometric and biomorphic shapes defined by soft pastel colors, reminiscent of the spatial composition of Chilean Surrealist painter Roberto Matta and the dreamy creations of French artist Émile Bernard.
