Caídos del cielo 2 / Vom Himmel gefallen 2

This striking artwork depicts a massive, ethereal bird, characterized by its large, white wings, resting against a backdrop of urban destruction. The bird, rendered in soft, unfocused lines, contrasts sharply with the harsh, monochrome depiction of crumbling buildings and scattered debris. A small figure, reminiscent of a cartoon character, stands in front of the bird, illustrating a juxtaposition between the vastness of nature and the insignificance of humanity’s constructs. The piece is executed in shades of gray, white, and hints of blue, creating a somber yet poignant atmosphere that speaks volumes about resilience amidst ruin.
This painting would beautifully complement modern or industrial-style interiors, serving as a thought-provoking focal point in spaces such as living rooms or offices. It can stimulate conversation and reflection, making it suitable for environments emphasizing creativity and artistic expression. Additionally, its monochrome palette allows it to blend seamlessly with various color schemes.

Batman stands in the midst of ruins | Falling from heaven (2009 – 2015) is a series of Oscar Seco paintings: These surreal scenarios – colossal birds and ruins, suitable by the baroque artists Snyders, Claesz or Chardin – run between social criticism and still life as bombs in buildings. The artist limits the use of his usual bright colors to use only black and white and derived color areas. The result is photographic and documentary. The literary references of this series refer to the cycle of apocalyptic novels by J.G. Ballard as novels such as Mihail Bulgakov’s “The Fatal Eggs” or “Food of the Gods” by H.G. Wells.
