Fine silkscreen, hand signed by the artist. // Atal by Antonio Saura, created in 1983, is a limited edition silkscreen that exemplifies the artist’s raw and expressive style. The composition is dominated by an abstract, layered form, featuring bold strokes and splatters in shades of black, gray, and muted olive green. This work displays Saura’s characteristic approach to figuration, with distorted, almost grotesque shapes that suggest a haunting, ambiguous face or mask. The intense layering and dynamic brushwork evoke a sense of agitation and introspection, reflecting Saura’s fascination with psychological depth and human complexity. Known for his association with European Informalism, Saura’s art often challenges traditional portraiture, merging abstraction with visceral emotion to produce powerful, unsettling imagery.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
