“The capture of an infinite firmament in a monumental piece.” In Cielo atrapado (Trapped Sky) (2025), Miguel Betancourt uses a large format of 100 x 70 cm to explore transparency and light. This artwork, created with watercolor and wax on fine paper, is a window to the vibrant vitality of the Andes, where color remains “trapped” between the organic layers of the support, creating a sense of movement and inner passion.
Description
Cielo atrapado (Trapped Sky): A Secret Glow
This monumental artwork from 2025 represents the artist’s urgency to capture the chaotic and vibrant energy of the soul. Miguel Betancourt utilizes watercolor on rice paper to achieve an expressive dialogue where Fauvism and semi-abstraction allow the viewer’s imagination to be liberated.
Details of the Composition:
-
Mixed Media: The combination of watercolor with layers of wax endows the piece with a unique depth and a natural protection highlighting paper transparency.
-
Presence in Space: Thanks to its dimensions of 100 x 70 cm, the artwork dominates its environment, transforming it with a vitality inviting inner movement and mystical contemplation.
-
Artistic Identity: A key piece from the “Sanctuaries and Landscapes” series, where the sky is not merely a background, but a living entity contained within the paper weave.
“My artwork brings a unique vitality to your space, like a secret glow inspiring passion and inner movement.” — Miguel Betancourt.
