About La Source de Calm

The artwork titled “La Source de Calm,” created by Roberto Matta in 2002, is an etching that epitomizes the Surrealism movement and falls under the genre of symbolic painting. The piece showcases a dreamlike quality typical of Surrealist works, blending abstract forms and symbolic figures to create a deeply evocative and contemplative scene.

In “La Source de Calm,” the composition is dominated by a background of rich blue hues interspersed with varied textures and areas of contrasting colors, creating an otherworldly ambiance. Central to the artwork are several abstract humanoid figures rendered in vibrant green, red, and yellow tones. These figures seem to engage in a cryptic interaction, evoking a sense of mystery and introspection. The forms are fluid and elongated, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. The use of bold highlights, particularly the neon yellows and reds, punctuates the composition, drawing the viewer’s eye to key elements within the narrative. The overall effect of the artwork is one of surreal tranquility, inviting the viewer to delve into the depths of their imagination.
