Juan Álvarez Cebrián
Green spheres

2008

About the Item

Green Spheres presents a dreamlike scene where three floating green spheres emerge within a space dominated by a dense, earthy texture, reminiscent of a luminous brick tone. A fourth sphere, more enigmatic, remains in the shadowed background, almost hidden, rendered in black. The composition suggests a subtle but continuous movement, as if the spheres are advancing toward a blurred column rising at the top center of the canvas. This column is crowned with a classical capital, upon which two rampant lions stand—heraldic figures that introduce a symbolic and mysterious dimension to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet surrealism, almost ceremonial. The spatial arrangement defies traditional logic: to float, to move, to emerge—these are the verbs that dominate the visual reading. The background shifts from black to a reddish tone, reinforcing the duality between the hidden and the revealed. The work invites the viewer into a universe suspended between the symbolic and the imaginary, where physical laws seem to dissolve.
