"Bluu" by Jose Luis Varela

Dimensions: 70" × 60"

Year: 2024

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

This dynamic abstract composition features bold, gestural brushstrokes in a sophisticated palette of deep blues, blacks, and whites. Varela's expressive technique creates sweeping movements across the canvas, with paint application varying from thick impasto to translucent washes.

The work evokes turbulence and energy through its dramatic contrasts—rich cobalt and navy blues flow against stark black elements, while luminous white highlights create visual tension and depth. Diagonal and curved movements guide the eye, creating rhythm within the composition.

At 70" × 60", "Bluu" commands presence and reflects contemporary abstract expressionism, demonstrating Varela's mastery of color relationships and spontaneous, authentic mark-making.
