Anforas

Manolo Valdés layers oil paint with hessian and cloth collage on a burlap ground in *Ánforas*, creating a richly textured surface that evokes both ancient Mediterranean vessels and the materiality of everyday fabric. The rough, woven substrate becomes an active element of the composition, blurring the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Valdés's signature approach transforms humble, utilitarian materials into a meditative dialogue between art history and contemporary craft.
