“Fecundidad” is a symbolic painting created in 1944 by the artist Carlos Merida. This artwork belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is known for its symbolic representation.
The artwork depicts a scene filled with vibrant colors and abstract human forms, each characterized by exaggerated proportions and dynamic postures. The central subjects are stylized figures in shades of pink, yellow, blue, and orange, which seem to interact in a dance-like manner. The background is a deep, rich brown, providing a stark contrast to the bold colors of the figures, which heightens the visual impact of the composition. The figures, with their elongated limbs and expressive gestures, evoke a sense of motion and convey a deeper narrative of fertility and creation, embodying the title “Fecundidad.” Their abstract representation invites viewers to explore and interpret the underlying themes and symbols presented by the artist.
