The City That Holds the Song Artist: Original work by artist E. Pérez Lezcano Technique: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 70x100 cm Presentation: The work is sent unframed, carefully packed in a rigid cardboard tube for maximum protection. COA: Includes a hand-signed certificate of authenticity by the artist. The City That Holds the Song In The City That Holds the Song, Eve Lezcano builds an imaginary stage where architecture takes on human traits and figures extend into façades, towers, and rooftops. Two faces dominate the composition, integrated into a web of windows, arches, and overlapping planes. This continuity between body and city allows us to contemplate space as a place inhabited by gazes, memories, and presences. The composition unfolds vertically, from the steps in the foreground to the yellow disc suspended against the blue background. The string instruments in the lower-right area balance the weight of the buildings on the opposite side, while the birds introduce scale changes that accentuate the scene’s fabulist character. Each element preserves its legibility within a space whose logic responds to visual and affective associations. Deep blues and turquoise envelop the image and link its different registers. Above them, warm whites and ochres illuminate faces and buildings; burgundy and pink tones establish correspondences between architectural structures and instruments. The brushwork, visible in sweeps, strokes, and irregular coverage, provides a vibrant surface that suggests the passage of time on what is depicted. The cubist language opens here to a poetic dimension: the city seems to gather in its forms what it has seen and heard. The birds and the instruments allow us to imagine a song circulating among the buildings, while the faces grant the place a private intimacy. The work thus proposes a geography of memory, where inhabiting also means preserving the voices that give meaning to a space. Shipping: All works are shipped in a highly secure packing method, using a professional-quality rigid cardboard tube designed to protect the artwork during transport. This method ensures the piece arrives intact, without folds or damage, regardless of distance or destination country. The shipment includes a tracking number for complete transparency in the process. Certificate of Authenticity: Each work is delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, stating the title of the work, technique used, dimensions, year of creation, and other relevant details. This certificate guarantees that the piece is an original, unique, and exclusive work, protected by intellectual property rights, and that it wholly belongs to the artist’s corpus. It is a valid document for collectors, galleries, auctions, and future appraisals.
