echnique:Oil on canvas Measures:23 × 19 inches (58.4 × 48.3 cm) Year:Circa late 20th century Condition:Good overall condition. The painting displays strong color retention, layered paint application, and clearly articulated geometric and biomorphic forms. Minor surface wear consistent with age and handling may be present. The canvas appears structurally stable and presents well for display. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description. Provenance:Private Collection, La Molina, Lima, Peru; accompanied by gallery documentation from New York. Visual Description:A richly colored abstract composition organized around interconnected geometric and biomorphic forms. Intense passages of crimson, scarlet, magenta, violet, orange, and deep blue emerge against a warm earth-toned ground. Crescent-like shapes, angular structures, linear elements, and architectural forms overlap across the composition, creating a complex sense of spatial depth and symbolic tension.The combination of saturated color, mysterious abstract forms, and references to pre-Columbian visual traditions gives the composition a distinctly Latin American modernist character.
