Description
Luz en La Profundidad #1 is Lorena Villalobos working in oil and cold wax. Deep blue and black has been built up and scraped back with luminous white emerging through the centre. The cold wax has been gouged and layered, giving the blue a depth and translucency that pulls the eye below the surface.
There’s a great sense of movement that runs through the cold wax abstraction — light and darkness entwined. This work is part of a two-piece series — Luz en La Profundidad #1 and #2 can be purchased individually or hung together as a diptych.
Art historian and former Costa Rican Minister of Culture Carlos Francisco Echeverría has described her work as among the most significant to have emerged from the region in recent times. She is among twenty-six artists named as Modern and Contemporary Masters in Central American Modernism (Ford and Snider, 2018).
