Ángela de la Cruz — Torso
Ángela de la Cruz

Torso

A crumpled and collapsed canvas sags heavily against a sheet of aluminium, its distorted form evoking the weight and vulnerability of a human body. De la Cruz pushes painting beyond its conventional boundaries, treating the canvas itself as a sculptural object subjected to physical force and surrender. The work blurs the line between painting and sculpture, inviting reflection on fragility, form, and the materiality of the medium.
