About this artwork
2020
Oil on canvas
This work was born in one of the most defining moments of recent history: the year 2020. Through the seated and masked female figure, Alfonso Endara reflects on human fragility, isolation and the social tension that marked the beginning of the pandemic.
Beyond its sanitary function, the mask becomes a symbol of silence, uncertainty, and distrust, while the motionless body expresses the waiting, vulnerability, and emotional burden… of an era that transformed the entire world. The work does not depict a specific event, but rather a collective state: the psychological, ethical, and human impact of a global crisis.
“2020” is a piece that invites contemplation and memory, reminding us how art can become a testament to its time, preserving emotions and questions that are still relevant.

Credentials

- Works on commission
Alfonso Endara is an Ecuadorian painter and sculptor with over 45 years of artistic experience. His work, primarily oil on canvas, has become firmly established within figurative realism, distinguished by a rigorous technique based on classical methods such as chiaroscuro and antique glazes. In many of his paintings, he applies up to forty successive layers of paint, achieving exceptional depth in light, shadow, and chromatic nuances.
Throughout his career, he has painted portraits of presidents, public figures, and members of the Spanish royal family, and has participated in over one hundred national and international exhibitions, earning him considerable recognition both within and beyond Latin America. Beyond technical virtuosity, his work focuses on the human figure as an emotional and symbolic territory: bodies, faces, and gestures that reveal inner experiences, tensions, silences, and contradictions.
