The Night of Tulips I (La Noche de los Tulipanes I)

The Night of Tulips I (La Noche de los Tulipanes I) by Rocio Garcia de la Nuez, Oil/canvas, 2021 – available at Discoveries in Art.

In general, in my work, I question and reflect on the meaning of the concept of power, the abuse of power in interpersonal, love, psychological and socio-political relationships. Formally, I build a narrative from creating a sequential painting, where it is common to make diptychs that show two different planes of the same story that provoke and intrigue.

In the diptych The Night of the Tulips, one can be seen in the first canvas an exterior of the street with autumn trees in front of a brightly lit window. The second canvas shows an interior where we see precisely what is happening through those luminous windows.

Faced with this diptych, the only thing left for the viewer to do is to put together his or her own conception of the story.
