"Espejismo" (Spanish for "Mirage") is a powerful, imaginative original oil painting (16" x 20") that holds significant institutional provenance. The piece was featured in the 2024 "Southwest Surrealism" exhibit at the Yavapai College Art Gallery, an event hosted by Amy Ernst, granddaughter of the celebrated surrealist painter Max Ernst. This striking work transcends the literal desert, presenting an unsettling mirage where the impossible is rendered with tactile reality: a silver fish emerges from the heat-warped atmosphere, resting alongside a ghostly blue prickly pear. The vibrant, striped ground and dramatic shadows emphasize the visual shock of the scene, reflecting the strange, dream-like quality of the Southwestern expanse. This piece, with its confirmed exhibition history, is a key acquisition for any collector seeking validated contemporary surrealism.
