Mariella Olortegui - Huari II

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

The painting exhibits all the hallmarks of the Surrealist style. The language is figurative, almost hyperrealistic, but the elements appearing are completely decontextualized in a dreamlike atmosphere. Although in this case it would be more appropriate to call it a true vision, given the presence of elements typical of pre-Columbian culture. Formally, the painter demonstrates an excellent pictorial technique.

Mariella Olortegui is a Peruvian painter who, as we can see from this work, introduces elements from her own culture into an evocative, visionary and surrealist language.
