Deux nus assis
1987
Armando Morales' *Deux nus assis* is a richly atmospheric work rendered in oil and beeswax varnish on canvas, depicting two seated female nudes enveloped in the artist's signature warm, smoky tonality. The beeswax varnish lends the surface a luminous, almost amber-like depth, softening the figures' forms and dissolving them into a dreamlike, timeless space. Morales masterfully balances sensuality and restraint, drawing on both classical figurative tradition and a distinctly Latin American poetic sensibility.
