For artworks or reproductions larger than 105 cm (approximately 41 inches) on any side, the frame will be shipped as a kit, disassembled. This method ensures safe delivery and prevents damage during transport.

Professional assembly required - this is not a DIY product.
The kit must be assembled and the canvas stretched by an experienced professional framer, using wood glue (not supplied), a canvas stretching plier and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries. Incorrect assembly or uneven canvas tension can permanently damage the artwork and is not covered by our warranty.

All solid wood bars are included, precisely cut to size.
Assembled with the screws provided, plus wood glue for the corner joints, which is not supplied and must be sourced by your framer.
Professional tools are required and not included: a canvas stretching plier (tensioner) and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries.

Important:
The corner joints require wood glue, the bars must be held with clamps until the glue is fully dry, and tightening the canvas on the assembled frame requires a canvas stretching plier. None of these are included in the kit. Please arrange an experienced professional framer before ordering this size.

A Study in Form and Color

In this 1958 composition, we encounter a visual language that leans heavily into the geometric abstraction defining much of the mid-century period. The canvas is dominated by a large red circle, its surface punctuated by white dots that create a rhythmic, almost celestial texture. This central figure acts as a gravitational anchor for the surrounding elements. Scattered throughout the space are smaller circles, some in deep blue, which drift around the primary red form. These shapes do not merely sit upon the surface; they interact, creating a sense of movement within a structured, mathematical order. Amidst this arrangement of spheres, two human figures emerge—one in the upper left and another toward the right. Their presence introduces a subtle tension, grounding the abstract geometry in a sense of lived experience or perhaps a fragmented recollection.

The technique suggests a deliberate, controlled application of pigment. There is a clarity to the shapes that speaks to a disciplined approach to the medium. By balancing the weight of the large red orb against the lighter, scattered blue and white elements, the artist achieves a specific equilibrium. It is a work that asks for a quiet, sustained gaze to fully grasp the relationship between the organic presence of the figures and the rigid precision of the circles.

The Geometry of Recollection

The title, Memory N. 1, invites us to consider the painting not as a literal landscape, but as a mental architecture. The abstraction functions as a way to organize thought and sensation. The red circle, with its internal white points, feels like a focal point of consciousness, while the blue spheres act as drifting thoughts or peripheral sensations. The inclusion of the two figures suggests that memory is never purely abstract; it is always inhabited by the human element, even when that presence is reduced to a silhouette or a simplified form. This interplay between the mathematical and the personal is what gives the work its specific gravity.

Created during a period of significant movement in Latin American art, this piece reflects an engagement with modernist principles. The work avoids the chaos of pure expressionism, opting instead for a structured, geometric clarity. It is a quiet exploration of how we perceive space and identity through the lens of simplified, essential shapes. The interaction of the primary colors and the scattered dots creates a visual rhythm that feels both intentional and spontaneous, capturing a moment of mental clarity within a vast, colored void.
