Juan Álvarez Cebrián
Neural

2006

About the Item

This piece marks the beginning of a series in which classical iconography takes center stage. In Neural, the artist reinterprets sculptural and architectural elements from the Greco-Roman world, imbuing them with a contemporary atmosphere through expressive use of color and texture. Presented in a panoramic format, two fragments of classical sculptures face each other on either side of the canvas, separated by a fractured architectural element. This central crack suggests not only physical decay but also symbolic rupture—perhaps an emotional break between two beings, two stories, or two eras. Golden, ochre, and rust tones envelop the scene in a warm, melancholic light. The composition evokes a dialogue between past and present, permanence and transience, in a surrealist setting that may hint at the human condition—at man and woman as messengers, or fragments, of a universal message.
