Description

The diptych The Sea Gate by Pardito (Mariano Blázquez) is conceived as a contemporary visual poem, where the artist combines the strength of gestural painting with the symbolic depth of materials. Created with gold leaf, acrylic, and enamel on wood, the work establishes a dialogue between two complementary planes:

In the first part, a horizontal rectangular format, the artist presents an abstract expressionist composition in blue, white, and dark tones that evoke the movement of the sea, its turbulence, and luminous reflections. The viewer is immersed in a vibrant surface of liquid rhythm, where the pictorial matter suggests both calmness and the ocean’s untamed force.

Alongside it, a narrower vertical block in gold unfolds, worked with textures and upward grooves that recall the free material gesture of Dada. This panel, conceived as a door with a small rectangular peephole, offers a counterpoint of solidity, limit, and threshold, contrasting with the fluidity of the sea. Here, gold acquires a metaphorical dimension: an entrance to the unknown, a passage between the ephemeral and the eternal.

The result is a conceptual and metaphorical artwork, a meditation on the duality between stability and movement, permanence and transformation. The composition reaches a balance in harmony: the chromatic dynamism of the sea against the serene radiance of the golden door.

The Sea Gate affirms Pardito as a contemporary artist capable of integrating tradition and avant-garde, opening new paths in today’s emerging art. His work, rich in matter and texture, aligns with a line of contemporary abstract expressionism while at the same time engaging with the Dada gesture and a deeply poetic sensibility.

Available at And-Art Works, this piece is not only an artwork but also a symbolic space for collectors, interior designers, and contemporary art enthusiasts seeking creations with aesthetic strength and conceptual depth.

Artist

Mariano Blázquez "Pardito"

Mariano Blázquez is a self-taught visual artist born in San Lorenzo de El Escorial in 1948. Known artistically as “Pardito”, he has developed a rich and extensive creative career spanning several decades. His work, deeply intuitive and free from academic constraints, is the result of a perceptive gaze capable of absorbing and reinterpreting the world through a deeply personal sensitivity.

With over 30 solo exhibitions and more than 20 group shows, his artistic production includes painting, sculpture, drawing, and collage, in an eclectic practice defined by constant experimentation and the use of recycled materials. For Pardito, the creative act stems from an inner drive—a vital need to create—beyond any predefined technique or artistic style.

From an early age, he combined his artistic pursuits with work as an industrial painter, developing a strong manual skillset and discipline that would become hallmarks of his practice. At just sixteen, he took part in his first group exhibition, marking the beginning of a close and lasting connection with the cultural life of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. In recognition of his contribution, the town awarded him the first Medal of Artistic Merit of the Royal Site.

His visual language is rooted in figurative expressionism, though it also resonates with abstraction, geometric forms, and color field painting. Constantly evolving, his work speaks to us through authenticity, creative urgency, and the power of the genuine.
