{"product_id":"jose-maria-mijares-1921-2004-untitled-5","title":"JOSÉ MARÍA MIJARES (1921–2004) – Untitled","description":"This remarkable hand-painted ceramic by José María Mijares beautifully illustrates the artist’s mastery of geometric abstraction and his ability to transform ceramic into a sophisticated work of modern art. Executed with brilliantly glazed enamel colors, the composition reflects Mijares’ unmistakable visual language, where rhythm, balance, and lyrical abstraction coexist in perfect harmony.\n\nThe circular composition is dominated by an elegant arrangement of elongated geometric forms that suggest stylized human figures interacting within an architectural space. Rich cobalt blues, deep blacks, soft creams, emerald greens, muted reds, and touches of brilliant yellow create a harmonious chromatic structure that evokes both movement and tranquility. The artist skillfully balances vertical and horizontal elements, allowing the composition to unfold naturally within the circular format while maintaining exceptional visual stability.\n\nThroughout his career, Mijares explored the relationship between geometry and figuration, reducing recognizable forms to their essential visual elements without sacrificing emotional expression. In this ceramic work, delicate linear accents, floating circular motifs, and carefully organized planes of color generate a refined visual rhythm that recalls both Constructivist principles and the lyrical abstraction that became synonymous with Cuban modernism during the twentieth century.\n\nThe glazed ceramic surface enhances the depth and luminosity of the pigments, giving the composition remarkable brilliance while emphasizing the precision of the artist’s confident line. The circular support further strengthens the decorative elegance of the piece, allowing every element to contribute to a unified composition that is simultaneously architectural, musical, and poetic.\n\nHand-painted ceramics by José María Mijares are considerably rarer than his paintings and works on paper, making them highly desirable among collectors of modern Cuban art. This work represents an exceptional example of the artist’s versatility and demonstrates how successfully he translated his celebrated geometric vocabulary into the decorative arts while preserving the sophistication, originality, and timeless elegance that define his artistic legacy.\n","brand":"Private Collection.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44138802315329,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/2140\/6785\/files\/jose-maria-mijares-1921-2004-untitled-6898173.jpg?v=1783912566","url":"https:\/\/delamoart.com\/products\/jose-maria-mijares-1921-2004-untitled-5","provider":"Del Amo Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
