About this artwork
Black
This work is a silent affirmation of presence and dignity. The dark-skinned female figure is presented without artifice, with a strength born from her stillness and her inner gaze. She seeks neither explanation nor justification: she simply is.
The treatment of color and light highlights the texture of the skin and the emotional depth of the character, moving away from stereotypes to place her in a space of respect, identity, and essential… beauty. The composition invites us to contemplate the human beyond the obvious, where skin becomes language and the figure a symbol.
A work that engages with themes of identity, memory and presence, and that reaffirms the capacity of art to dignify and give voice from silence.

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.
