About the Item

Penumbra (What Follows You?) is an acrylic painting on raw linen canvas by artist René Gonzalez. The painting represents two deer nestled among wildflowers. Dimensions are 75 × 50 cm (29.5 × 19.6 in). This artwork is signed and sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Rene Gonzalez regards his figurative paintings as “a series of small stories”: each piece unfolds a narrative rooted in an emotion or tale the artist seeks to communicate on canvas. To shape his quasi-theatrical compositions, he draws from a wide array of familiar references—myths and legends from diverse cultures, advertising, photography, cinema, and art history. He favors vibrant, intense colors for their power to evoke emotions or create a distinct atmosphere, devoting great care to achieving harmonious chromatic combinations. With both Latin American and Western cultural heritage, Gonzalez weaves symbols and allegories that reflect his personal experience, profoundly shaped by geographical displacement—sometimes forced, sometimes chosen. Dialogue with the viewer is central to his practice; he often envisions his works as genuine conversations with a virtual audience. While he provides thematic clues within his paintings, Gonzalez consistently leaves their ultimate interpretation to the observer. As he explains: “My work depicts dreamlike landscapes inhabited by animal figures, weaving together elements of mythology, symbolism, and the natural world. Through intricate forestry and celestial motifs, I explore themes of mystery, transformation, and the unseen forces that shape our understanding of reality.”
