Figuration and abstraction that merge into the same canvas and that have been refined until reaching an essence where only some minimal references are needed to enter the city, the Island or time, whose abstract condition the painter captures, sometimes moving through the space of the canvas or paper the image of the pendulum that, like the inevitable sword of Damocles, swings for his work, for his life, for the existence of everything and everyone; and others, resorting to the constant flow of the sea from which the Island is born and its resistance against all winds and threats of all kinds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003cem\u003e—Excerpted from https:\/\/slp.gob.mx\/secult\/Paginas\/Muestra-de-pintura-y-colagrafía-del-artista-cubano-José-Omar-Torres.aspx , accessed 6-18-2021\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e","brand":"Jose Omar Torres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46279821885590,"sku":"ART-000289","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6470\/8246\/products\/Torres_Ofrenda1.jpg?v=1606779261","url":"https:\/\/brandywine.art\/products\/ofrenda-a-la-ciudad","provider":"Brandywine.Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
