Description

Espuma Roja (translated as “Red Foam”) is a turbulent wave painting by Guanacaste-based artist and musician Christian Porras demonstrating his signature style of full curved forms and billowing lines.

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 technique of applying paint with ovoid shapes, 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.

Espuma Roja transforms the meeting of sea and shore into a vivid abstraction. A ribbon of pale foam winds across a field of saturated crimson, dissolving into pools of deep blue and violet below. The composition of this turbulent wave painting evokes the turbulence of waves breaking on the coast and the volcanic intensity of Costa Rica’s landscape, distilling natural forces into a dreamlike play of colour and form.

Framing not included.
