Artwork Description

A deeply elemental composition from Guirado’s late ’90s period, Origen pulses with symbolic intensity and gestural elegance. Painted in rich earth tones and layered brushwork, the piece evokes the primordial forces of creation — earth, fire, water, and consciousness — converging into a metaphysical landscape that blurs the line between outer terrain and inner vision.

With forms that suggest both geological strata and spiritual ascent, Origen serves as a visual meditation on beginnings — the birth of worlds, of spirit, and of artistic expression itself. It reflects Guirado’s fascination with the unseen energies that govern both nature and the human soul.

This work was part of the artist’s private archive and comes directly from the personal collection of Catalina Guirado, daughter of the artist and Director of the Estate.
