Los Fantasmas del Cenote

"Los Fantasmas del Cenote" (Ref. 822) is perhaps Ruggero Ruggieri's most visceral and mystery-laden work. On a 60x50 cm canvas dominated by a palette ranging from pink and deep purple to crystalline blues, the artist has captured an experience that transcends painting. Born from a memory of a trip to the Yucatan, the work reveals unsettling presences that emerged unconsciously during the painting process: perfectly defined eyes, arms reaching into the void, and the face of a bearded elder surfacing from the water. The painting evokes the sacred and terrible atmosphere of Mexican cenotes, sites of ancient Mayan sacrifices, transforming into a bridge between personal memory and millennial history. It is a "frightening" and magnetic piece, where every brushstroke seems to guard a secret, ideal for collectors seeking a profound spiritual connection and a narrative capable of stirring the soul.
