About this artwork
In this painting, I explored the themes of mortality and the essence of life wrapped in a surreal embrace inspired by Grant Wood's American Gothic. I crafted two skeletal figures using oil and wax, depicting them in a style that merges realism with surrealism. They stand before a smouldering landscape, symbolizing the inevitability of time and decay and the undying aspects of human spirit and love. This work invites viewers to reflect on life's transient…
and eternal elements, provoking a deeper contemplation of our own existence.

Robert Inestroza employs oil paints with innovative materials like resin, sand, and fabric for his dynamic canvases and figurative sculptures. He experiments with contrasting techniques - layering, scraping, sculptural cold wax impasto, airbrush, and abstract flourishes focusing on movement and energy. His work merges past, present and future. Themes of identity, art history, social commentary, and technology form contemplative and surreal experiences of modern human life such as love, loss, joy and isolation - offering works of solace, solidarity and connection with the viewer.
