“Modernidad Emergente,” created by Carlos Merida, is a mixed technique artwork that embraces the Cubism movement. Rendered in a visually engaging abstract style, the piece measures 65 x 50 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork presents an intricate assembly of geometric shapes and contrasting colors. Dominated by rectangles and triangles in teal, blue, grey, and maroon, the composition exemplifies the Cubist penchant for fragmented forms and overlapping planes. The juxtaposition of various shapes, along with a precise interplay of light and shadow, invites viewers to ponder the dynamic relationship between form and space. The artist’s masterful execution in mixed techniques is evident, blending vivid colors and textural nuances to achieve a cohesive, yet complex visual narrative.
