Rocas Lagui 1933

Rocas Lagui is a watercolor painting by the Argentinian artist Xul Solar. The painting is imbued with Solar’s unique blend of spiritualism and cosmopolitanism. Solar was deeply influenced by the cultural and political shifts of the early 20th century, including the rise of avant-garde movements and an increasing interest in the occult. In Rocas Lagui, we see a dreamscape, where geometric forms create a city under a surreal sky. A figure ascends a long staircase watched over by other worldly characters, a rainbow flag waves in the distance. Solar’s personal beliefs about spirituality, transformation, and the interconnectedness of all things is deeply embedded in the piece. Solar once said, "Art is not just representation, but an opening to other worlds." Rocas Lagui is not just a painting, but an invitation to explore the hidden dimensions of our existence. It encourages us to consider the world beyond the surface, seeking a deeper understanding of self.
