Adrián Arguedas captures a dynamic, playful scene in this oil painting as young children frolic around a swimming pool. This painting celebrates childhood innocence and the carefree joy of summers spent outside.
Arguedas’ work is characterised by its ability to present fleeting moments with a sense of timelessness, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the simplicity of existence. This Costa Rica oil painting serves as a testament to the artist’s skill and vision, offering a glimpse into a world where ordinary moments are transformed into extraordinary works of art.
Arguedas typically explores the intricate interplay between humanity and the environment. He is known for his figurative work that embraces the spirit of masquerade. Growing up in Barva de Heredia near San José, a town known for its mask parades, Arguedas explores the various guises people adopt. Even if physical masks are not depicted, he presents archetypes and patterns of human behaviour. Through his watercolour paintings, Arguedas offers a lens through which to view our multifaceted human experience. Even when Arguedas is not painting literal masks, he captures the way individuals project their identities, affirming that even “your face is a mask”.
