About the Item

Silk Flutters in the Woods is an acrylic on canvas by artist Rene Gonzalez, portraying butterflies dancing above a water puddle in a spellbinding nocturnal forest. This unique piece's dimensions are 40 x 30 cm (15.8 x 11.8 in). For Rene Gonzalez, each figurative painting unfolds like a “small story”: every piece carries a narrative, born from a feeling or tale the artist seeks to express on canvas. His compositions, often imbued with a theatrical quality, draw inspiration from a wide range of sources close to him: myths and folklore from various cultures, advertising, photography, film, and art history. He selects vivid, saturated colours with intention, harnessing their emotional power and ability to create evocative atmospheres. Much of his process involves exploring and refining harmonious chromatic relationships. With roots in both Latin American and Western traditions, Gonzalez infuses his work with personal experience, conveyed through symbolism and allegory. His life, shaped by both chosen and imposed migrations, subtly emerges in his visual language. Dialogue plays a central role in his artistic approach: he often envisions his paintings as ongoing conversations with an imagined audience. While he embeds narrative hints within his work, Gonzalez ultimately invites viewers to arrive at their own interpretations. “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.” Rene Gonzalez
