Description: This compelling work by renowned Ecuadorian printmaker Isabel Ullauri represents the artist’s mastery of texture and symbolic abstraction. Titled Espero sin prisa ("I wait without haste"), the piece features a starkly divided composition: a dark, densely hatched lower register meets a light, stippled upper field, evoking a minimalist horizon. At the center, a dark rectangular void serves as a stage for vibrant, fluid lines in primary and secondary colors. These organic, "living" forms provide a striking contrast to the disciplined, monochromatic environment, suggesting a internal world of growth and movement within a state of stillness.

The piece is of particular interest to collectors of Latin American art due to its notable provenance. The lower margin bears an affectionate, handwritten dedication from the artist to the Embassy of Ecuador in Paraguay, thanking them for six years of support in the promotion of art (dated 1992 and 2003). This work is numbered 11/12, making it a rare, low-edition strike from one of Ecuador’s most respected contemporary graphic artists.
