Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
The 1996 painting Blue Figures is a fascinating work done in oil on paper. It features dark blue, almost silhouette-like figures standing in a vibrant, textured setting. The background is a mix of light and dark colors, with striking greens and yellows at the bottom, possibly representing foliage or vegetation, and lighter blues and whites at the top, which could be reminiscent of the sky. The characters appear to be moving or participating in some activity, giving the painting a dynamic component. The use of bright, contrasting colors and thick brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and movement that makes the painting visually appealing and thoughtful.
