#45876 Antonio Bisquert

The artwork presents a densely layered composition built from found objects affixed to what appears to be a heavily textured surface. The palette is dominated by earthy tones – ochre, brown, and beige – creating a sense of antiquity and decay. A pervasive roughness characterizes the entire piece; it’s not merely an aesthetic choice but seems integral to the works meaning.
Several circular motifs are prominent. These arent simple circles, however, but complex arrangements of beads, metal fragments, and what seem like remnants of decorative hardware. The central arrangement in the lower portion features a radial pattern reminiscent of a stylized sun or flower, with a small, raised element at its core. This focal point is surrounded by an intricate network of metallic tendrils that extend outwards, creating a sense of both containment and expansion.
The upper section mirrors this structure but with variations in material and form. Here we see a cluster of beads arranged in a circular pattern, punctuated by what looks like a central fastener or decorative element. The overall effect is one of fragmented wholeness – pieces seemingly salvaged from disparate sources brought together to create something new.
The artist’s handling of texture is particularly noteworthy. The surface isnt smooth; it’s built up with layers of material, creating a tactile quality that invites closer inspection. This textural complexity contributes to the work’s overall sense of history and accumulation.
Subtexts within the piece suggest themes of memory, loss, and reconstruction. The use of found objects implies a narrative of recovery – of rescuing fragments from oblivion and reassembling them into a coherent form. The muted color scheme and rough textures evoke a feeling of nostalgia, as if we are looking at remnants of a forgotten past. Theres an underlying sense of fragility; the delicate arrangement of materials seems precarious, hinting at the ephemeral nature of memory and the constant process of rebuilding. The signature in the lower left corner suggests a personal connection to this act of creation and preservation.
