Asencio’s “Recognition”
is a sensual yet powerful composition wrought with references to ascension
and its ensuing redemption. Sitting peacefully, her head is tilted back as
if commanding the heavens. With one hand at her heart and the other
outstretched and open as if to gesture “come with me”, she recognizes the
power of her spirit and its ability to transform. Asencio’s flawless figures
are often placed amidst a flurry of painted abstraction, thereby
illustrating her power to “ascend from the chaos”.
Asencio’s mastery of
the female form and ability to use color and abstraction to express emotion
are testament to his refined artistic talent. His work entitled “Azure” is a
perfect illustration of this communion of color and form.
Surrounded by the empty lightness of the blank canvas, a beautiful woman
emerges from the abstract wreckage. Loosely draped in a richly colored azure
cloth, she stands confident, yet modestly covered as if ready to bare her
soul.
