Malaria

"Malaria" is a compelling symbolic painting by María de los Remedios Alicia Rodriga Varo y Uranga, a renowned Surrealist artist known for her imaginative and dreamlike works. Created using gouache on cardboard, the piece combines surreal imagery with rich symbolism to evoke the mysterious nature of disease and human vulnerability. Varo's background, having lived across various European cities before her exile in Mexico, influences her distinctive style that fuses fantastical elements with profound meaning. "Malaria" exemplifies her ability to transform complex themes into evocative visual allegories, characteristic of her unique approach within Surrealism.
