Catalog: River 104. // Helena Vieira da Silva's Azteque (Tumulus), created in 1971, is a limited edition lithograph, part of an edition of 100. The artwork features an abstract composition with a rich palette of earthy reds, browns, and blacks. The textured and layered brushstrokes create a sense of depth, reminiscent of ancient architectural forms or ruins, aligning with the title’s reference to Aztec culture and tumuli (burial mounds). The fragmented and overlapping patterns evoke a sense of movement and disintegration, suggesting the passage of time and the erosion of civilizations. Vieira da Silva's work captures both the structural and transient aspects of memory, space, and history.

What is lyrical abstraction ?
Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
