Nostalgia 2014

Jose Higuera made "Nostalgia" with oil on canvas. The colours are muted, the light is soft, and the brushstrokes are blended so well that the process feels almost invisible. There's a stillness, an air of contemplation, that draws you in. Looking closely, I'm fascinated by the way Higuera handles light, especially the light filtering through the curtains. It’s not just about mimicking what the eye sees, but about creating an emotional atmosphere. See how the light catches the fabric of her sleeve? There's a real intimacy in the way the artist renders the folds and shadows. It’s almost like a caress, suggesting a narrative that's both personal and universal. This piece reminds me of Johannes Vermeer, but with a contemporary twist. Like Vermeer, Higuera uses light and shadow to create a sense of mystery and introspection. Ultimately, art is about asking questions, not providing answers. Higuera invites us to bring our own experiences and interpretations to the table.
