Mixed media on paper // Antonio Saura's Personaje (1998) is a mixed media work on paper that exemplifies his abstract and gestural approach to figuration. The central figure, represented in Saura’s signature style, appears to be sketched with expressive, black, and jagged lines, forming a distorted, almost mask-like face. Broad, sweeping brushstrokes in shades of black and gray encase the figure, creating a bold contrast against the lighter background. The chaotic arrangement of lines and shapes within the face suggests a deep emotional complexity, inviting the viewer to interpret the psychological tension inherent in the figure. This piece reflects Saura’s ongoing exploration of human identity, emotion, and the subconscious, all communicated through his raw, intense visual language.

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.
