In these paintings there is matter, tension, tearing.

Intangible energies interacting with each other, struggling to break free, or to stay free: whether he is painting human beings, animals, or clouds, this is the dynamic underlying Arturo Denarvaez’s work. Forms swirl as if in a wild dance, or a ritual, or a combat, painted in deep, warm colors that heighten feelings of primeval forces emerging from a dark unknown.
