About the Item

This painting captures a delicate interplay of color and form, ideal for those seeking a piece that blends abstraction with subtle movement. Muted greens, pale blues, and golds create a flowing composition, perfect for adding an ethereal, contemplative atmosphere to a living space. The artist’s use of color mirrors the natural world, evoking elements like plants and organic shapes without overtly defining them, making this piece versatile for a variety of nterior design aesthetics. The title,"Nocturno" (Spanish for "Nocturne"), suggests a peaceful, reflective quality. The soft light and shadow contribute to a tranquil, dreamlike mood, suitable for serene environments such as a bedroom or reading nook. The balance between abstraction and form recalls the magical realism often found in South American art, particularly the work of Alejandro Obregón. However, this piece stands out for its lyrical softness, creating a sense of movement through color, as if the composition is unfolding before the viewer. This artwork is not only a visual centerpiece but also a conversation starter, with its quiet beauty and depth of interpretation. Ideal for creating a relaxed, introspective space, this painting will add a sense of calm sophistication to any setting. 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'.
