Niños jugando
1997
This oil painting presents a surrealist composition featuring four young figures arranged within a staged interior space. The children are depicted in various poses against a backdrop of mountainous landscape, with the foreground rendered in bold geometric planes of ochre, red, and green. The work employs a distinctive visual language that combines portraiture with abstract spatial construction, creating an enigmatic narrative about childhood and play. The figures are rendered with careful attention to their individual characteristics while the environment around them remains deliberately fragmented and dreamlike.
