Espejo del sol 1966

"Espejo del sol" (Mirror of the Sun), a 1966 work by Manuel Rivera, is a captivating abstract piece that explores the interplay of light and shadow. Rendered in a predominantly red color scheme, the canvas features a central rectangular form reminiscent of a window or frame, suggestive of a portal through which light is channeled. The red border surrounding the central element intensifies the sense of depth and isolation, evoking a contemplative atmosphere. The delicate mesh-like pattern within the frame, along with the subtle variations in color intensity, suggests a sense of movement and flux, reflecting the dynamic nature of light. This minimalist composition showcases Rivera's mastery of abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret the interplay of light, form, and space through the lens of their own personal experiences.
