Rayuela I

Acrylic on canvas Available upon request
This piece was one of my first "serious" works of art. At the time, everything I created was deeply inspired by Hopscotch (Rayuela in the original Spanish) — the 1963 novel by Julio Cortázar — and the works of Piet Mondrian, who’s referenced often in the book.
Hopscotch follows a group of bohemian artists, poets, and Argentinian-Parisian creatives as they drift through life, discussing art, love, and existence. I subconsciously created in the same abstract manner that the book was written in.
I have always personified the two circles, framed by the bold green strokes, as being two separate entities: independent, but destined to collide eventually. Their backstory is something I've returned to often. Since then, a lot of my current works feature a pair of small dots in opposing corners of the canvas, furthering the story of these two initial beings.
