Photography by Edward C. Robison III.

Sin título [Untitled]

In Sin título [Untitled], Zilia Sánchez transforms her canvas into a three-dimensional surface, using soft blue and gray hues to create a sensual landscape that rises from two central points of tension. This work reflects her artistic focus in the 1970s, when she explored the body as a site of feeling and form.
