About the Item
This red, green, and bronze acrylic painting is inspired by the geometric art of Joseph Albers. Sánchez’s world of plants, leaves, and flowers, inhabit a dense landscape of bright colors and sensual motifs. Sánchez combines these natural figurative settings with stripes and other geometric shapes. While seemingly at odds with each other, the geometric and the natural work in perfect collaboration in Sánchez’s work.
Magaly Sánchez (b. 1969) is a Peruvian artist from Lima, currently based in Mexico City. She studied art at the Faculty of Art of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, specializing in painting.
Her works combine geometry and nature to produce clean and orderly figurative works that end up, consciously or unconsciously, reproducing in an "invisible" way, the geometric order. Everything stems from the smallest microbes; the totality of Sánchez imagery emphasizes that both manmade geometric structures, as well as every detail of natural life, from a plant, down to how its leaves fall around its stem, depend on fractality. Fractality, for Sánchez, is a way of seeing order and structure in everything.
All of Sánchez’s works, whether evidently or more obscurely, inspire contemplation of order. Geometry exists in nature as well as in the manmade world and indeed in humanity’s own biology. Sánchez finds awe in this pervasive order, which seems infinite, eternal, and mysterious.
In 2019, Magaly Sánchez had a solo exhibition at the Embassy of Peru in Washington DC, United States, which inaugurated the Embassy's Annual Cultural Promotion Program of “Peruvian Women in the Arts” aimed at revaluing Peruvian women through their artistic expressions. Sánchez’s work has also been exhibited in Lima, New York, Caracas, Los Cabos (Mexico), and Madrid.

Artists statement:
The key themes of my works are the study of the natural landscape of our planet, drawing attention to environmental issues and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. I work in mixed techniques, as I like to experiment with paints on different bases and observe how they interact with each other. Such experiments often lead me to surprising results. I most often find the phrases and captions integrated into my works in in-flight magazines, glossies, advertising campaigns and other print media. More precisely, the right phrases find me on their own at the right time when I'm working on a particular painting. Glimpsed phrases are often stored in our subconscious and sometimes serve as a trigger or set a vector of movement. Motivational phrases in paintings are like beacons that point in the right direction so as not to veer off course.

The Importance of Elegance

The importance of elegance indeed! A beautiful panel of life-size figures with a silver-leaf frame made by Impiglia, an artist whose value has only increased over the years.
Born in Rome, Impiglia moved to New York in the ‘70s, where he established a signature style on the shoulders of Futurism and Cubism, his technical skill underpinning his eclecticism and allowing him to indulge in an appetite for complexity. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries around the world and is part of prominent collections including that of The Victoria and Albert Museum and the Absolut Art...
