In this powerful oil painting by Alberto Juárez, the female body abandons itself to space, suspended in a gesture that blends vulnerability and transcendence. The barely outlined forms emerge from the canvas with spectral subtlety, as if swept away by an invisible current. The pale tones, transparencies, and organic stains suggest a state of dissolution, where the body seems to vanish between the physical and the spiritual. The dramatically reclining figure evokes a scene of both ecstasy and martyrdom, on an ambiguous border between the erotic and the sacred. A work that moves with its silent rawness and poetic power.
