The Astrologist

This work is an intriguing example of modern art, in which contrast and simplification of forms are brought to the forefront. Using a limited palette, the artist has created a composition that plays with the duality of positive and negative space. The central image appears to be a stylized face, marked by thick lines that outline its features in a style reminiscent of cubist works and tribal art.

The presence of symbols such as stars and what appears to be a planet or moon adds a level of mysticism or cosmism to the piece. This, combined with the almost hieratic nature of the face, could suggest a search for the divine or an attempt to capture the essence of humanity within a larger universe.

The signature in the corner implies a personal mark, a seal of the artist within his visual cosmos. We can infer that the creator of this work is interested in exploring the borders of human identity and its relationship with the cosmos, using a direct but deeply symbolic visual language. The artist presents himself as an explorer of the confines of simplified expression, seeking to convey complex emotions and ideas through bold and deliberate minimalism.
