Platanillo
1984
This vibrant oil on hardboard depicts a lush tropical garden scene with cascading flower clusters rendered in bold yellows, oranges, and reds set against dramatically fanned green foliage. Lorenzato's characteristically expressive impasto technique is evident throughout, with thick, directional brushstrokes animating every element of the composition. The work is signed and dated 1984 in the lower right corner, placing it firmly within the Brazilian self-taught master's mature period. A striking and collector-ready example of Lorenzato's celebrated botanical vocabulary, offered by Gomide and Co.

Rufino Tamayo
Mexican · b. 1899
Tamayo shared Marcos's focus on vibrant Mexican subject matter rendered with bold saturated color and heavily textured impasto surfaces, bringing a naive yet expressive energy to flora and organic forms rooted in Mexican identity.
Irma Stern
South African · b. 1894
Stern painted lush tropical flowers with thick impasto brushwork, bold simplified forms, and jewel toned color palettes that closely mirror the textured naive floral style seen in Platanillo.
Frida Kahlo
Mexican · b. 1907
Kahlo celebrated the tropical flora of Mexico with vivid color, flattened simplified forms, and an emotionally direct naive quality that aligns closely with Marcos's bold depiction of native Heliconia flowers.
