Nostalgie 2009

"Nostalgie" (2009) by Carlos Sablón (b. 1981) is a captivating oil on canvas that depicts a surreal and whimsical scene. Three large mushrooms, with luminescent caps, emerge from a dark, mossy ground. The mushrooms are presented against a black backdrop with a scattering of golden splotches, creating a sense of depth and mystery. Above the largest mushroom, a circular window appears, framing a serene landscape. This enigmatic composition invites viewers to contemplate the nature of memory and the relationship between reality and dreams.
