Description
“Hybris” (2023) by Roxana Urra is a compelling contemporary figurative painting that explores the tension between identity and perception. A solitary figure, rendered in a delicate balance of abstraction and symbolism, stands in confrontation with an enigmatic mirrored presence — a visual metaphor for self-awareness, illusion, and inner conflict.
Executed in acrylic on wood, the work is rich in texture and layered color, combining softness with structural tension. The restrained palette of greens and muted tones contrasts with subtle accents, creating a quiet yet emotionally charged atmosphere.
Part of the series “Behind the Mask”, this piece reflects on the human condition — the distance between who we are and how we see ourselves. Roxana Urra’s distinctive visual language positions her work within collectible contemporary figurative art, appealing to collectors seeking depth, symbolism, and strong aesthetic identity.
Available for acquisition at BUAT Gallery, Barcelona.
