Maybe Later 2006

Soledad Sevilla made this painting titled, 'Maybe Later' without a specified date, and I find myself drawn to its layered depths. The painting whispers rather than shouts. Its surface is built with thin glazes of red, creating a luminous, almost ethereal quality. You can see the evidence of the hand in the subtle variations of tone, the delicate brushstrokes that catch the light. This process of layering and veiling is what draws me in. It's like she's inviting us to slowly peel back the layers of meaning, to discover the secrets hidden beneath the surface. There's a particular passage near the center where the red seems to intensify, almost glowing from within. It's as if the painting is breathing, exhaling a sense of warmth and vitality. It reminds me a little of Agnes Martin's subtle use of colour, but here the red is imbued with a more visceral energy. Ultimately, 'Maybe Later' is a reminder that art is not about providing easy answers. It's about posing questions, inviting us to linger, to contemplate, and to discover new ways of seeing the world.
