Sol y Luna (Sun and Moon) – Signed, Artist Unidentified

Description
This expressive abstract still life, signed “Esperanza” and inscribed on the reverse “Sol y luna” (“Sun and Moon”), radiates warmth and vitality through its bold use of color and gestural brushwork. The artist arranges three floral forms against a vivid turquoise field, their shapes built with thick applications of ochre, orange, violet, and white. The dynamic balance of hues captures the symbolic contrast of sun and moon — light and shadow, energy and calm. Confidently composed, the work blends lyrical spontaneity with modernist restraint, reflecting the visual language of mid-century abstraction. Its lively palette and tactile surface lend depth and harmony, making it a compelling statement piece in contemporary decor.
