Signed by the artist Cárdenas, this bold and meticulously composed work in oil on board explores the expressive potential of geometric form and spatial tension. At its center, a monolithic cylindrical shape is rendered in softly gradated tones of green, cream, and black, rising against a fragmented field of sharp-edged planes in crimson, ochre, violet, and emerald. The surface is richly textured, with smooth brushwork and confident lines that emphasize the painting’s structural harmony and modernist sensibility. The use of deep black as a backdrop enhances the luminous quality of the surrounding colors, while the interplay between light and shadow creates an illusion of depth and movement. Balancing architectural strength with abstract poetry, this piece reflects mid-century influences and a deep engagement with form, contrast, and composition. Its refined palette and sculptural aesthetic make it a powerful statement piece in any sophisticated, design-conscious setting.
