El cuadro de los abanicos 

Esteban Frances created ‘El cuadro de los abanicos’ in his signature surrealist style. The canvas is a vibrant tableau of geometric forms, figures and symbolic elements rendered in oil. The intricate composition is a dance between recognizable shapes and abstract motifs, inviting an emotional response through its enigmatic and dreamlike atmosphere. Frances constructs a visual language rooted in the surrealist fascination with the unconscious. The structure of the painting teeters on the edge of abstraction, employing fragmentation and juxtaposition. Each fan is strategically placed, acting not merely as a symbol, but as a structural element that guides the eye through the painting’s labyrinthine space. The artist destabilizes conventional perspective through floating geometric planes and distorted figures. Note how Frances’ masterful use of color and form does not aim to replicate reality, but rather to evoke a psychological landscape. "El cuadro de los abanicos" transcends traditional artistic boundaries to explore the complex interplay between perception, representation, and subjective experience.
