About the Item

In "The Ivy," the artist transports us to a world where nature and history converge in a captivating chromatic dance. On the left side of the composition, an obelisk rises, its figure gradually emerging from a palette of blue tones fading into the warm hues of yellow, evoking the transition from day to night. In contrast, on its right side emerges the head of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility, framed by lush ivy vegetation. The head gently dissolves into the golden and ochre tones of the surrounding flora, as if the god himself were merging with the nature he symbolizes. The ivy, in its persistent advance, merges with history, creating an intangible link between the past and the present. The space between these two iconic representations is dotted with small squares of color, floating like pixels in the air, maintaining the chromatic alignment of the two main elements. These fragments of color add a contemporary touch to the work, reminding us that history and nature are always in dialogue with the modern world.

La Mujer Isla Surrealist Painting
By Enrique Chavarría
Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
The Island Woman (La Mujer Isla) Artist signed and titled. Enrique Chavarría (1927-1998) was a Mexican painter and neo-surrealist, whose fantastic imagery carries forward the work of the Mexican Surrealists. He created hundreds of easel-sized oil paintings on masonite and numerous smaller works. For four decades his principal patron was Bryna Prensky, an American gallery owner from Florida who moved to Mexico City in 1954. She bought most of Chavarría’s known works for her gallery and her own collection. Prensky said she often found Chavarría in his pajamas at mid-day. He read widely and painted dreamlike images that reflect his wide-ranging scholarly interests. Much of his work is thought to have been inspired by poetry, especially the writings of André Breton, Paul Éluard, Arthur Rimbaud, and Paul Valéry; by the classic surrealism of Salvador Dalí; and by the paintings of Mexican neo-surrealist artists Remedios Varo...
