Left Piece of Triptych: Origin Of Life

ABOUT ORIGIN OF LIFE

Artist: Aurelio Rodriguez Lopez

Land of Origin: Spain

This is the first panel of the triptych “Origin of Life”. It tells us about the Birth of Aphrodite who rose from the white foam of the sea, breathing in vigorously as if it were the very first breath she’d ever taken.

“Symbolically I meant to represent the birth of the first vestiges of life in the ocean. The evolution of species led us to what life on the planet is today. In this instance I have chosen a woman of pallor, but the first humans to leave Africa were predominately darker. Choosing a white person calls for conversation about migration and mingling, so essential to human success in the past, present, and future. The future is mixed-race and so is the past.” Says Aurelio.

ABOUT THE MASTER-GICLÉES

We use the highest possible, colour tested printing process in the IBEX ArtLab. The Master-Giclées are overseen by the artists themselves to ensure that they are exactly as the artists want them. All used materials for the Master-Giclées are acid-free, so they will not turn yellow or go brittle. We use archival pigment inks which have the longest lifespan of any ink currently known.

At IBEX, we believe in providing the highest quality Master-Giclées to match the high quality of our artists. All pieces are produced in our own print, varnishing and framing facilities in Germany. From start to finish each work of art is handled personally by a master printer with more than 20 years of experience in the fine arts.
