Plurentes 1949

Xul Solar made this intriguing painting with watercolor, tempera, and pencil. Looking at these tall figures, with their elongated faces and multiple sets of eyes, it's like they're peering into different dimensions, or maybe different versions of themselves. I can imagine Solar, in his studio, carefully building up the layers of color, letting the paint flow and blend, allowing these strange beings to emerge from his imagination. There's something both eerie and elegant about the way he renders the figures with a smooth, almost polished surface. Each gesture, each brushstroke seems deliberate, yet there's an underlying sense of freedom, as if the artist is channeling some otherworldly vision. The colors, muted yet vibrant, create an atmosphere of mystery and contemplation. It makes me think of other visionary artists, like Hilma af Klint or Remedios Varo, who explored inner landscapes and spiritual realms through their art. It’s an ongoing exchange of ideas, you know?
