Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner. This untitled diptych (1989) by Gustavo Acosta reflects the artist's sustained exploration of landscape as a mental and emotional construct rather than a descriptive site. The deliberately blurred imagery is articulated through layered tonal transitions that dissolve the boundaries between sky, ground, and path, generating an atmosphere of silence and contemplative suspension. Prioritizing perception and spatial experience over representation, the work places the viewer before an indeterminate territory charged with introspection and temporal depth. Executed during the late 1980s, the painting belongs to a contemporary sensibility in Cuban art that reinterprets landscape through memory, subjectivity, and the passage of time. Recognized for his poetic engagement with pictorial space, Acosta has developed a distinctive language marked by tonal subtlety and atmospheric depth.
