"#05: El Paraguas (The Umbrella)" is a 2008 woodcut by Marina Pallares. The artwork is a striking black and white depiction of an umbrella, perhaps representing shelter or protection, standing amidst a dense thicket of stylized foliage. The simplified forms and bold lines of the woodcut style contribute to the artwork's powerful and expressive quality. The piece is a testament to Pallares' artistic mastery of the woodcut medium, a technique known for its stark contrasts and expressive lines.
