Copas Azul is a study in quiet duality, exploring how symmetry can give rise to emotion. Eliana Portilla’s work reveals an intuitive sense of balance, where repetition and order are not just formal devices, but gateways to contemplation. With its deep blues and earthy tones, the piece invites viewers into a space of calm precision—where minimalism becomes a language of feeling.
Design
The composition centers on two elongated black triangles that ascend in parallel, crowned by small, light-blue semicircles. These forms recall stylized goblets meeting in a point of quiet balance. A central beige rectangle anchors the arrangement, while a sequence of alternating red and brown squares along the sides injects rhythm and movement. Each element is hand-painted with graphic restraint, creating a piece that feels both grounded and subtly kinetic.
