Avelino Sanher
'Smoldering Mind' by Avelino Sanher - Black, White, and Green Modern Figurative

2022

About the Item

Avelino Sanher (Mexican, born 1972) "Smoldering Mind" 2022 Oil Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the bottom right of the painting. Avelino Sanher's "Smoldering Mind" from the 'Claro Obscuro Series,' is a 36" x 36" mixed media on canvas that intertwines contemporary abstraction with figurative elements in a profound exploration of inner consciousness. The stark black backdrop serves as a void from which the central figure, devoid of a head yet adorned in a falling black dress, exudes a surreal presence. Vivid orbs float around, evoking a dream-like state, while a green plume of smoke rising from the neck suggests an escape of spirit or thought. The contrasting textures — the smoothness of the orbs against the detailed drapery of the black garment — enhance the visual intrigue. This piece invites introspection, challenging the viewer to interpret the enigmatic tableau and the emotions evoked by this silent narrative of the mind's eye. About the Artist: Avelino Sanher, born in Mexico City in 1972 and a U.S. resident since 1998, is an artist known for his mastery in oil paints and acrylics. His work is a testament to his commitment to inspire and connect with artists and collectors alike. Avelino's unique approach sees him using varied mediums, from recycled cardboard to plastered walls, embodying his belief that art is boundless. His bicultural life, split between Mexico and the United States, imbues his art with a vibrant, energetic quality. Avelino's pieces are a colorful reflection of life's moments, seen through a lens that merges two rich cultural perspectives. Avelino's art is prominently displayed in Silicon Valley, gracing spaces from the Chicano Center at Stanford University to fine dining establishmen Sanher's and casual eateries. This diverse presence underscores his philosophy that art should be accessible to all, resonating across different settings and audiences. In essence, Avelino Sanher's art is a vivid narrative of a life lived across two cultu and resonateting viewers with its dynamic and spirited expression. Original, one-of-a-kind.
