Juan Álvarez CebriánProtector (diptych)2008
2008
About the Item
This artwork, part of the "Classical Series," is composed of two vertical canvases that engage in a dialogue through their shared symbolism and subtle narrative differences. At the top, a powerful lion rests its paw on a sphere, embodying watchfulness and supremacy. Beneath it, a barely suggested capital with classic dentils evokes a classical heritage framing the scene. In contrast to the lion's grandeur, a diapered baby occupies the lower part of the painting, symbolizing the innocence and fragility of life in its earliest stages. This child, in gestures ranging from cautiousness to boldness, seems to seek the vigilant gaze of its protector. The chromatic palette, with golden ochres and intense reds, reinforces the vital tension: fire, blood, and latent strength. With no fixed arrangement, these two canvases invite multiple interpretations: a game of glances, of protection and growth.

He took painting courses with Daniel Quintero and Eduardo Úrculo, and engraving courses at the National Mint of Madrid with José Hernández, Daniel Gil, Paco Mora, and Luis Cabrera. He has held solo and group exhibitions in various national and international galleries.
