Description

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a signed original artwork by the highly acclaimed Paraguayan painter, draughtsman, and designer William Riquelme (born 1933). A founding member of the influential "Los Novísimos" group, Riquelme is a pivotal figure in the history of Latin American art, recognized for his avant-garde approach and his ability to blend structural precision with organic, surrealist forms.

This particular piece features two distinct, diptych-style ink drawings on paper, showcasing Riquelme's signature minimalist aesthetic. The work utilizes bold, black-and-white curvilinear shapes to create stylized, anthropomorphic figures that exemplify the artist's mastery of line and negative space. The composition is marked by a rhythmic fluidity and sophisticated abstraction, making it a powerful representation of modern Paraguayan graphic art.
