Description:
This artwork by contemporary Spanish artist Antonio Castor features two watercolor compositions depicting nudes, housed together in a common frame. The pieces are striking in their use of color and form. On the left, two standing female figures are rendered in deep blue tones, their elongated forms emphasizing their statuesque presence. On the right, a seated female figure is depicted in white against a vivid blue background, creating a stark and captivating contrast. The figures are minimally detailed, yet the bold color choices and fluid lines convey a strong sense of emotion and movement.
