El doble

Carlos Merida, a pioneering figure in Latin American modern art, created El doble in 1977, reflecting his mastery of Cubism and Abstract styles. The work exemplifies Merida’s innovative technique, blending geometric forms with a vibrant palette to explore duality and reflection, as suggested by the title "El doble" ("The Double"). His approach integrates the structural fragmentation characteristic of Cubism with abstract expression, resulting in a composition that emphasizes multiplicity and symmetry. This piece stands as a testament to Merida’s unique contribution to modern art, where cultural identity and formal experimentation converge seamlessly.
