The artwork titled “Airagu” was created by Maruja Mallo in 1979 and is part of the Op Art movement. This piece exemplifies a blend of figurative and abstract genres.
The artwork features a symmetrical, geometric composition predominantly in shades of blue, purple, and green. It portrays abstract shapes and patterns that resemble a stylized bird or winged creature, with wings extended and symmetrical designs extending downward. The background is painted in soft, pale shades, allowing the central figure to stand out in sharp contrast. The precision of the lines and the harmonious use of color reflect the principles of Op Art, aiming to create a visual experience that is both dynamic and contemplative.
