About Effare

The artwork “Effare,” crafted by artist Roberto Matta, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the figurative genre. Matta’s work is widely recognized for its imaginative and dream-like qualities, which are vividly embodied in this piece.

In “Effare,” two abstract, humanoid figures dominate the canvas, set against a textured, blue background. The larger figure on the right appears elongated with white elements adorning its upper part, conveying a sense of surreal distortion. The smaller figure on the left is depicted in a seated position, gesturing towards the larger figure as if in conversation or contemplation. The use of bold, black outlining further accentuates the forms and adds to the dreamlike narrative. White splashes of paint across the lower part of the artwork create a dynamic contrast, adding to the piece’s ethereal and expressive nature.
