The Gaze of the Heart
| Type of Art: Paint |
| Technique: Oil on Canvas |
Dimensions: 31.5in x 31.5in
In this intense and provocative oil painting, Alberto Juárez intertwines the body, emotion, and perception in a composition charged with symbolism. On the left, a female figure gazes at us with simultaneously confident and vulnerable expression; on the right, a man surrenders to a gesture of pain or ecstasy. In the center, a realistic heart fused with an eye appears to be the emotional and visual core of the scene: a vivid metaphor that love, desire, and suffering are felt both with the body and with the inner gaze. Splashes of color and organic lines lend dynamism to this paneled work, evoking a fragmented narrative, like a vivid memory overflowing beyond the canvas. A piece that confronts, seduces, and reveals the rawness of humanity.
