"Mujer sentada" exemplifies twentieth-century art’s shift toward engaging the senses within a more materialist and consumerist society. The painting, likely created using Oil paints, captures a seated woman in a style that bridges traditional Portrait techniques with surrealist influences. The avant-garde movement encouraged viewers to interpret artworks beyond their surface, fostering a dynamic relationship between artist and spectator. In this context, the abstract or dreamlike elements align with Surrealism, inviting multiple interpretations and emphasizing that meaning resides not solely with the artist but also with those who engage with the work.
