Era Una (It Was One)

2019, 30” x 24” (76.2 x 60.96 cm), Acrylic, Japanese ink, and charcoal on canvas

This piece is a nod of the head to Latin America's tropical foliage, and Gabriela Gil's relationship to nature. From a technical standpoint the monochromatic color palette and layering of material creates space and optical illusions that challenge realism.
