Desde el Silencio 1989

Descripción

“Some paintings aren’t made to fill wall space—they’re made to hold a mood. Desde el Silencio (1989) is part of Ney Coto Pinzón’s long exploration of the inner life: faces that watch, bodies that blur into memory, and that quiet tension between what’s felt and what’s shown. It’s the kind of work collectors live with, not just look at once. If you’re drawn to psychologically rich, post-impressionist/expressive figuration, this is a piece you’ll keep discovering for years.”++++++++++++ “Desde el Silencio” (1989) unfolds like a quiet inner drama. On the left, an enlarged face with wide, thoughtful eyes anchors the composition, its features drawn in strong, dark lines and muted earth tones. Below it, a reclining figure gazes upward, creating a diagonal line of sight that pulls you into the scene. To the right, a cluster of seated, simplified figures overlap and dissolve into one another, painted in warm reds, oranges, yellows and soft greens. Their bodies feel both solid and ghostlike, as if they are memories or presences emerging from a single shared space. Throughout the painting, the textured brushwork and layered color give the surface a tactile depth, so that every area feels alive with small shifts of tone. The atmosphere is one of introspection and quiet tension—a space where thoughts, memories and emotions sit together in silence rather than shouting for attention. The title, “Desde el Silencio” (“From the Silence”), feels exact: the painting reads like something spoken softly from within, rather than declared out loud.
