Adrián Arguedas explores a different way to portray a traditional Costa Rica river scene. In this oil painting, families leisurely frolic in the crystal-clear waters, presenting a timeless moment of leisure and connection with nature.
At the heart of this composition lies a surreal element typical of Arguedas’ work: an inflatable bouncy castle nestled in the Costa Rican river. This unexpected juxtaposition adds a playfulness to the scene, which contemplating reality vs imagination. This painting exemplifies Arguedas’ affinity for appropriating commonplace imagery and recontextualising it in unexpected scenarios.
This Costa Rica river oil painting is a poignant reflection on the harmony between humanity and the natural world. It is also an example of Arguedas’ concern with archetypes and the different types of human behaviour, encouraging scrutiny of our own multifaceted human experience.
