About the Item

A large oil painting presents a classical sculpture, focusing only on the head and shoulders. In the center of the composition, the face of the sculpture appears pixelated, concealed behind warm tones of reds, oranges, earthy hues, and greens, among other shades. This square section showcases a rich variety of ochres and a detailed texture, with glazes that enhance the figure's volumes and shadows. On the right, the same figure emerges in shadow, bathed in mauve and gray tones, revealing the sculpture's face while absorbing the luminous hues of the central area. In the lower part, a line of vibrant pixels suggests the colors used in the work. This piece is an allegory of human history, color, and its significance in representing beauty in art, reflecting on the duality between the classical and the modern in visual perception.
