About the Item

Francisco Vadillo (1933) El Avila Desde El Country, 1972 Oil on Canvas 50 x 60 cm Signed and dated in lower right Original oil on canvas, titled Avila Desde El Country (1972). This landscape captures the green hills of El Avila, a mountainous landmark in Caracas, Venezuela, viewed from a countryside setting. Vadillo 's use of vivid greens, blues, and sunlit tones adds depth and vibrancy, while impressionistic brushwork enhances the natural beauty of the scene. Signed and dated in the lower right, with a hand-inscribed title on the verso. An artist name plaque is affixed to the frame. Bears a COA on the verso Francisco Vadillo (born 1933) is a Spanish-born painter who became a significant figure in Venezuelan art after relocating there in 1957. Educated at the prestigious San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, Vadillo is best known for his evocative depictions of El Ávila, the iconic mountain range overlooking Caracas. His works often portray this natural landmark with a sense of nostalgia and emotional resonance, capturing its blue skies and purple hues from memory rather than direct observation. ​ Vadillo's artistic style is rooted in figurative and landscape painting, characterized by expressive brushwork and a vibrant color palette. While not strictly aligned with a specific art movement, his paintings reflect elements of Postwar and Contemporary art. His works have been featured in numerous auctions, with prices ranging from $125 to $3,750, indicating a steady interest among collectors. ​ Despite a relatively low profile in international art circles, Vadillo's contributions have left a lasting impact on Venezuelan art, particularly through his intimate portrayals of its landscapes. His paintings serve as a testament to the emotional connection between artist and environment, offering viewers a glimpse into the soul of Venezuela's natural beauty.

Sheroanawë Hakihiiwë (1971) No Ohiri Pre Ai (No Tenian Comida), 2013 Watercolor on handmade paper, 50 x 67 cm, signed in the bottom left Comes with certificate of authenticity. Born in a small Yanomami Indigenous community in the Venezuelan Amazon, Hakihiiwe began making paper from natural fibres in the 1990s, a skill he learned by studying with the Mexican artist Laura Anderson Barbata. The artist’s work now consists primarily of drawings and paintings on handmade paper. He draws from his ancestral knowledge of the signs and symbols of Yanomami culture, and their decorative application in basketry and body painting for ritual ceremonies. His work forms a rapidly growing visual lexicon, or library, of Yanomami visual culture. Hakihiiwe’s drawings and paintings reveal his beliefs, rites and traditions as well as his close relationship to the natural world. Hakihiiwe was selected for The Milk of Dreams, the main exhibition at the LIX Venice Biennale in 2022, curated by Cecilia Alemani. Other recent group shows that the artist has participated in include: Siamo Foresta, Triennale di Milano, Italy (2023); Chosen Memories: Contemporary Latin American Art from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros...
