About the Item

This oil painting by, Mendel Samayoa, is part of his “Literary” series is based on poetry by Paolo Guinea. This is original work, signed lower right. Painted on canvas, size is unframed, stretched on board. Samayoa’s work is driven by his background in film-making, theater and architecture. His brushstrokes bend light into shadows while creating a stage for the canvas to come alive.
