Description
Ovoide Horizontal is a Costa Rica ocean abstract painting by Guanacaste-based artist and musician Christian Porras demonstrating his signature style of full curved forms and billowing lines that depict an erupting volcano.
His paintings are dynamic reflections of the Costa Rican landscape’s ever-shifting rhythms. Porras, being greatly inspired by his song-writing, creates harmonious relationships between his songs and his paintings as he translates lyrical descriptions of places and characters into bold, block-coloured canvases.
Using a unique ovoid painting technique, Porras layers elliptical brushstrokes reminiscent of fingerprints, blending elements of nature, from rivers to beaches, with human figures that integrate into their surroundings. At the heart of Porras’ practices lies a celebration of everyday life in Guanacaste, representing Costa Rica’s traditions and those of wider Latin America.
Ovoide Horizontal is a unique Costa Rica ocean abstract painting that depicts a vast turquoise pool beneath heavy skies. Its oval form anchors a composition of layered greens, greys and yellows, recalling the otherworldly beauty of Costa Rica’s volcanic craters.
Framing not included.
