The artwork titled “Proyecto Fachada Delta (#1)” was created by the artist Xul Solar in 1954. Aligning with the Surrealism art movement, this piece falls under the genre of cityscape.
The artwork depicts a fantastical architectural structure elevated on stilts, characterized by vibrant, multicolored facades partitioned with geometric patterns. The building features a series of triangular gable roofs in various hues of red, green, yellow, and blue. These roofs are adorned with religious and mythical iconography, including angelic figures and animal representations. Several steep, red staircases provide access to the raised building, and the structure appears to be situated over a body of water or marshland, as suggested by the stilts’ placement. The painting exudes a dreamlike and imaginative atmosphere, indicative of the Surrealist elements inherent in Xul Solar’s work.
