Mixed media on paper // Antonio Saura's Crucifixión (1981) is a mixed media work on paper, showcasing the artist’s expressionistic approach to a traditional religious subject. The figure of Christ is rendered in a fragmented, abstract form with exaggerated limbs and a distorted face, outlined in bold black strokes. The stark white cross contrasts against a dark background, creating a powerful visual tension. Saura’s use of gestural lines and raw emotion reflects his interest in exploring the human condition through themes of suffering, mortality, and existential struggle. The chaotic energy of the composition, combined with the abstracted figure, challenges conventional depictions of the crucifixion, making it a deeply personal and emotive interpretation.

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
