“A botanical dialogue between nobility and Andean nature.” In Jardín de la Infanta (Infanta’s Garden, 2026), Miguel Betancourt reinterprets the classical figure within a vibrant floral environment. In this format of 75 x 142 cm, watercolor merges with rice paper under a layer of wax, creating a semi-abstract atmosphere where the Infanta seems to emerge from a garden full of vitality and inner movement.
Description
The Vibrant Energy of Jardín de la Infanta (Infanta’s Garden)
This 75 x 142 cm artwork captures the essence of Miguel Betancourt’s creative urgency. In the words of the artist, the piece seeks to capture the “vibrant and chaotic energy that lives in the deepest part of the soul”, using a Fauvist language where color not only decorates, but expresses passion.
Analysis of the Composition:
-
Mixed Media: The use of watercolor, pencil, and wax on rice paper allows a unique play of transparencies. The wax seals the pigment, bestowing a depth reminiscent of ancient frescoes with the lightness of Xuan paper.
-
Semi-Abstract Style: The work invites the imagination to liberate forms. The Infanta becomes a symbol surrounded by a chromatic explosion signifying the vitality of nature.
-
Visual Impact: The landscape format of 75 x 142 cm allows the viewer to appreciate the detail of strokes and the expressive dialogue between color and form.
“My artwork brings a unique vitality to your space, like a secret glow inspiring passion and inner movement.” — Miguel Betancourt.

“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.”
