About the Item

Title: War and Peace Artist: Nerea Caos Technique: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 60 x 40 cm (23.6 x 15.7 in) Support: Stretched canvas Date: 2025 Signature: Signed on the back ("Caos") Condition: Unframed Provenance: Private collection DESCRIPTION In War and Peace, Nerea Caos maps an emotional battlefield through expressive abstraction. The composition is split into two chromatic zones that evoke opposing forces: a warm section dominated by dripping yellows, reminiscent of sunlight or a distant memory, and a turbulent area of magenta and black, suggesting desire, rage, or inner turmoil. A flesh-toned contour traces the outline of two confronting profiles—or perhaps a single divided figure—symbolizing an internal fracture. Two eyes emerge from the painterly chaos, one surrounded by yellow blooms, the other submerged in swirling magenta, acting as silent witnesses to an unresolved conflict. Sketch-like graphite figures at the lower left hint at childhood, memory, or symbolic archetypes. The painting strikes a precarious balance between gesture and control, between abstraction and figuration. Rather than seeking resolution, it embraces contradiction: war and peace coexist within the same psychic space. The intensity of color and gestural freedom recall Jean-Michel Basquiat and Cy Twombly, while the work’s intimate, symbolic dimension aligns with artists such as Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, and Tracey Emin—particularly in their shared ability to transform emotional vulnerability and memory into visual language. ABOUT THE ARTIST – NEREA CAOS Nerea Caos (born Nerea Sánchez Castro, Ferrol, 1993) is a Spanish visual artist and psychoanalyst. She showed an early interest in painting and performance and moved to Barcelona at 21 to study Psychoanalysis, a discipline she practices professionally and integrates deeply into her artistic work. Her chosen name "Caos" (Spanish for “chaos”) is both an acronym of her surnames and a conceptual stance. Her artwork fuses the conscious and unconscious through mixed media: acrylics, oil, oil sticks, and collage. Her style is raw and emotionally charged, exploring themes such as femininity, childhood, vulnerability, and the symbolic body. Currently based in Sitges, she finds inspiration in the Mediterranean light and multicultural atmosphere. Her work has been exhibited and sold through international platforms such as 1stDibs and ArtMajeur. Notable works include Season Fruits, The Vagina That Sees Everything, and The Woman Who Smiles Without Reason.
