Curatorial Description:
In Four Faces Toward Eternity, Susana Avellán invites us to contemplate the human condition through four haunting yet transcendent portraits. Each face seems suspended in a different moment of spiritual awakening—grief, surrender, seeking, and acceptance. With raw, gestural strokes and a symphony of shadow and light, the painting traverses the emotional spectrum of a life lived in pursuit of God.

The layering of colors and abrupt contrasts reflect the complexity of faith and the passage through earthly trials. The central figure, with weeping eyes and a fading mouth, evokes the soul’s cry in its final earthly moments—when human fragility meets divine mercy. The others accompany her, like saints, angels, or echoes of one’s inner self across time.

This large-format piece belongs to Avellán’s ongoing exploration of spiritual identity, capturing the invisible journey of the soul from temporal suffering to eternal grace.
