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 Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
