La Ronda is a mixed media painting on canvas. It showcases Marquina’s characteristic fusion of modern figuration and stylized abstraction. The composition centers on a rhythmic, interconnected arrangement of elongated human figures holding hands in a synchronized circle dance. Marquina utilizes a bold, saturated palette—dominated by warm terracottas, energetic reds, and striking yellows, contrasted against deep blues and muted teals—to construct a vibrant sense of communal movement.
This artwork has exceptional, clean provenance, having been acquired directly from the artist in the Republic of Panama. It aligns perfectly with Marquina’s highly active mid-90s period when he established exclusive gallery representation in Panama City. See less
