Abstract Painting, "Animalia Series II Yin Yang"

Beto Araluce explores duality with this cryptic abstract. "Duality has always existed in nature. On one side, the scorpion and on the other a noble snail," he says. "One cannot exist without the other – the forces of nature as complements and in opposition. These are metaphoric forms of light and darkness. Neither exists without the other." Araluce creates the pyro-engravings on wood and applies paint with a crackled finish.

Titled "Serie Animalia II Ying Yang" in Spanish.
