Description:
Holocausto II is a hauntingly powerful monochromatic abstract, executed in bold, layered oil on board. Swirling forms suggest a chaos of smoke, ash, and anguish — a visceral emotional response to tragedy, rendered in an almost sculptural surface. Guirado’s use of only black, white, and grey intensifies the emotional impact, creating a sense of universal suffering and catharsis.

Painted in 2003, this work belongs to a late period in Guirado’s oeuvre where emotional clarity meets formal experimentation. His signature is discreetly placed in the lower left, anchoring a deeply spiritual vision. This piece stands as both a visual and emotional monument — striking in both modern and traditional interiors.
