“Vitrales y muros de arcilla (Stained Glass and Clay Walls)” (2024) is an imposing panoramic artwork (50 x 180 cm) where Miguel Betancourt merges the luminous fragility of stained glass with the solidity of earth. Through a mixed media technique integrating oil, earth, and hemp, the artist builds a deconstructed architectural landscape celebrating Andean materiality and geometric abstraction.
Description
Materiality and Architectural Landscape In this 2024 piece, Miguel Betancourt uses an extreme horizontal format to guide the viewer through a visual narrative of textures and contrasts. The artwork stands out for the incorporation of telluric elements: earth and hemp intertwine with oil paint to raise tactile “walls” that interact with fragments of vibrant color, evoking the transparency and rhythm of ancient stained glass windows.
Panoramic Composition Measuring 50 x 180 cm, the work proposes a linear journey where the gaze jumps between deep blues, earthy ochres, and accents of pure color. The dome emerging subtly in the composition anchors the piece within an urban and spiritual context, while the hemp collage brings a three-dimensionality that transforms the surface into a modern archaeological relief.
Investment in Contemporary Art “Vitrales y muros de arcilla (Stained Glass and Clay Walls)” is a key piece for collectors seeking artworks of great spatial impact. It represents the essence of Betancourt’s material research, where the support becomes the protagonist and color acts as a language of light upon the density of clay.

“In Miguel Betancourt’s work, color is not mere filling; it is a living language that rescues the transparency of wax paper to remind us that light is the soul of form.”
