About the Item

In Juegos de Vitrales (Games of Stained Glass), Alfredo Aya employs a soothing palette of teal, turquoise, and pastel pinks, creating a luminous composition reminiscent of light filtering through stained glass. The vertical alignment and semi-translucent layers evoke a sense of transformation, as shapes emerge and dissolve in a rhythmic dance of color. Aya’s delicate balance of light and form recalls the visual poetry of stained glass, juxtaposing fluidity with structural integrity. This introspective piece aligns with Aya’s exploration of form and movement within color, contrasting with kinetic artists like Carlos Cruz-Diez and Jesús Rafael Soto by focusing on introspective, gentle transitions rather than overt spatial activation. Abstract shapes, dots, and soft geometric forms hint at fragments of illuminated glass, creating a dynamic interplay of opacity and transparency. Aya's work invites viewers to explore the poetic narrative of light, color, and geometry, drawing parallels between movement and stillness within its complex layers. Aya was born in Paris in 1954, and after studying in Paris and Switzerland, he moved to Colombia in his late teens. He lives and works in Bogota'. His paintings navigate the delicate boundary between post-impressionism and abstraction. His palette is vivid and pastel-like, informed by his beloved Colombia's tropical landscapes and seashores. 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. His most figurative paintings share similarities to Post-Impressionist artists like Paul Gaugin, 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 surrealist South American painter Roberto Matta and the dreamy creations of French Post-Impressionist artist Emile Bernard. Aya writes, "Form and movement emerge from color in the same way dance is natural to music."
