Composición de tres círculos 1983

Fernando García Ponce made "Composición de tres círculos" using paint and collage. The way Ponce throws together these shapes, colors and scraps – it's like a visual conversation, right? I love how the surface is built up. You can see the edges of the collage elements, the thickness of the paint, the way he layers and scrapes. It's all part of the story, the evidence of the making. Take a look at that slender column that pierces the top center. Notice the way the paint's been built up – it's almost sculptural! It feels like it's holding the whole piece together, a central support. Ponce reminds me a bit of Kurt Schwitters, both playing with found materials. But Ponce has his own vibe, a Latin American energy, maybe? For me, this painting is all about embracing the unexpected, the joy of discovery, and the beauty of imperfection.
