Original artwork description:

Presenting A Closer Look (Shimmering Morning), an extraordinary original abstract painting by the acclaimed artist Nestor Toro, a piece that radiates with vibrant energy and captivating depth. Measuring 48 x 36 inches, this textured and dynamic artwork is ready to hang, signed on the front, and poised to become the ultimate statement piece for any discerning collector’s space. Inspired by the mesmerizing, multi-colored depth of opals and their ever-changing appearance, this painting is a celebration of light, color, and movement—a true gem for those seeking a work of art that transforms a room and sparks the imagination.

Nestor Toro’s style in A Closer Look (Shimmering Morning) draws inspiration from the bold experimentation of abstract pioneers like Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Mitchell, blending their emotive use of color and form with a contemporary flair akin to the works of Julie Mehretu. Toro’s approach is both tactile and expressive, employing vigorous, textured paint strokes to create a sense of rhythm and motion across the canvas. This fusion of abstraction and emotional resonance makes the painting a bridge between the raw energy of mid-century modernism and the nuanced complexity of today’s abstract art scene, appealing to collectors who value both historical depth and modern innovation.

Dominant yellows range from bright, sunlit lemon to deeper, golden tones, infusing the canvas with a radiant warmth that feels like the first light of dawn. These are complemented by lush greens—think verdant lime and soft moss—that add a refreshing, natural vibrancy, grounding the composition with an earthy balance. Accents of dark orange bring a fiery intensity, their rich, burnt tones adding depth and contrast, while iridescent mica particles woven throughout the layers catch the light, creating a shimmering effect that shifts with every angle.
