Artwork description

This work, Disrobing of Christ (El Greco Improvisation), reimagines a classical theme through bold abstraction and luminous color. The figures emerge from a mosaic of fragmented brushstrokes, where golden ochres, deep blues, and fiery reds create a vibrant rhythm. Shapes dissolve and reform, giving the impression of both chaos and harmony, a reflection of the sacred narrative unfolding.

At the center, Christ is suggested in radiant tones, his posture calm amidst the swirling energy around him. The surrounding figures blend into an atmosphere of movement, their gestures caught in fluid transitions. The fragmented strokes blur the boundaries of form, emphasizing emotion and spirituality over strict representation.

By abstracting the original El Greco composition, the artist evokes the timeless drama of suffering and transcendence. The improvisation transforms a moment of solemn ritual into a symphony of color, allowing the viewer to feel the intensity of faith, humanity, and the eternal struggle between darkness and light.
