Caídos del cielo / Vom Himmel gefallen

This striking artwork features a surreal depiction of a colossal, detailed fish emerging from a pile of rubble, set against a backdrop of partially destroyed buildings. The monochromatic palette enhances the dramatic effect, creating a stark contrast between the delicacy of the fish and the harshness of the wreckage. The detailed brushwork captures the texture of both the fish and the surrounding debris, inviting viewers to ponder themes of destruction and transformation. The juxtaposition of the organic form against the man-made disaster provokes thought and engages the imagination.
This painting would serve as a captivating focal point in modern and industrial-themed interiors. Suitable for spaces such as urban lofts, contemporary art galleries, and eclectic living rooms, it can also enhance creative workspaces and cafes looking for an artistic statement. The monochrome palette allows it to blend well with various color schemes while adding an element of intrigue.

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.
