Oil on canvas. 60 x 80 cm.
Mau Pavón’s “Encuentros” reveals a clear Surrealist inclination, where floating elements and a dreamlike atmosphere allude to inner and energetic realities. On the canvas, the vertical shapes—resembling cacti or stalagmites—rise from the ground like energy centers connecting the earthly with the spiritual. Their intense green color conveys vitality while also suggesting the idea of nature as a primordial source of strength.
The objects suspended in midair—cubes and organic fragments—seem to represent memories, fragmented recollections, or sensations that hover around the composition. Their placement at different heights and sizes suggests an inner journey, where personal experiences manifest freely, unbound by conventional logic.
The horizon line, almost merging with the sky, creates the illusion of an infinite landscape and reinforces the notion of “soul encounters” and “common reference points.” In this setting, the tiny human figures at the base of the green formations act as observers of reality: they witness a world that, while dreamlike, carries a profound message about the connection between the individual, their memories, and the environment.
The use of soft hues in the sky, combined with the golden desert and the intense green of the central elements, creates a harmonious contrast that highlights the duality between the ethereal and the earthly. The brushwork—fluid and delicate in the clouds—contrasts with the solidity of the suspended volumes, establishing a constant visual dialogue between the organic and the geometric.
Overall, the painting invites viewers to contemplate these “energy centers” and reflect on how sensory and spiritual experiences intertwine with memory, encounters with other souls, and the search for common ground. Through its Surrealist language, “Encuentros” prompts us to question the nature of reality and the role we play as both spectators and participants.
