Untitled nr 2318 2006

Luis Feito created this untitled work with striking lines and color contrasts. Here, the deep reds evoke the visceral intensity of blood or fire, primal symbols tied to life, death, and transformation. The bold black lines cutting across the canvas remind me of the cross, not just as a Christian symbol, but in its most ancient form, a representation of the intersection of the earthly and the divine, of choice and consequence. Think of how this simple shape has carried meanings from the earliest cultures to modern times. It's not just a religious icon; it's a powerful force engaging us on a deep, subconscious level. This cross has been a marker, a divider, and a unifier across various cultures. It surfaces, evolves, and takes on new meanings in different historical contexts. This is an echo from the past into the present, an image with emotional power.
