This is a beautiful piece by Alexis Portilla, unframed. Re-Enter 30x22 in. Ink, Acrylic, Graphite on paper Unframed Framing available The artist Alexis Portilla obtained his Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990.

Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.” - Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review.

The artist has shown in group and solo exhibitions nationally for more than 20 years. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections.
