Born in Spain, she later emigrated to Mexico, where she produced the bulk of her mature work. Her paintings often feature androgynous figures engaged in alchemical or scientific pursuits, set within meticulously rendered, otherworldly environments. Varo's art explores themes of transformation, confinement, and the search for knowledge. \n\nIn \"Extinction of Useless Lights\", Varo presents a desolate, dreamlike vista. A barren landscape stretches toward a pale, overcast sky. Strange, biomorphic forms populate the scene, some resembling decaying organic matter, others suggesting nascent life. A tall, dark structure on the left emits smoke, while other peculiar objects float in the air, connected by thin lines. The colour palette is muted, dominated by browns, greys, and creams, with occasional pops of red. The painting's title suggests a commentary on the futility of certain endeavours, or perhaps the fading of old beliefs in the face of modernity. The overall effect is one of quiet unease and enigmatic symbolism, typical of Varo's surrealist vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-hand-in-the-clouds-yves-tanguy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Hand in the Clouds by Yves Tanguy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/le-beau-temps-man-ray\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Beau Temps by Man Ray\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/remedios-varo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRemedios Varo artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57272907923791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57272907989327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57272908087631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57272908120399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57272908185935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57272908218703,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57272908251471,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57272908317007,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57272908382543,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228970422607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228970455375,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228970488143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228970520911,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228970553679,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58228971077967,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58228971110735,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58228971176271,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_550910ba-3355-407c-b6b4-351872e16cee-q80.jpg?v=1792189537"},{"product_id":"revelation-the-watch-remedios-varo","title":"Revelation (The Watch) - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemedios Varo's \"Revelation (The Watch)\" presents a surreal scene of a figure working with clock parts, surrounded by clock towers and a mysterious glowing orb.

Born in Spain, she later emigrated to Mexico, where she produced the bulk of her mature work. Varo's paintings often feature dreamlike imagery, combining scientific, mystical, and allegorical elements. Her style is characterised by meticulous detail and a distinctive personal symbolism. She is associated with other Surrealist and exile artists in Mexico, such as Leonora Carrington. Her work explores themes of identity, transformation, and the search for knowledge. In \"The Battle\", a formidable castle dominates the composition, perched atop a craggy, mountainous landscape. The castle, rendered in shades of ochre and brown, appears to be under siege, with thin white lines emanating from its windows, suggesting either defensive fire or perhaps a more symbolic form of resistance. At the base of the structure, fantastical creatures, resembling dragons or mythical beasts, populate the foreground. Some are pale and skeletal, while others are tinged with gold, adding to the painting's otherworldly atmosphere. The sky above is a turbulent mix of dark blues and greys, hinting at an impending storm or a sense of unease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-temptation-of-saint-anthony-pieter-huys\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Temptation of Saint Anthony by Pieter Huys\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-labrador-remedios-varo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Labrador by Remedios Varo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/remedios-varo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRemedios Varo prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618048385359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618048450895,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618048549199,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618048581967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618048647503,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618048680271,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57618048713039,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618048778575,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618048844111,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_b4531b2b-b1e6-496e-a0f8-32ac1fec007f-q80.jpg?v=1793433814"},{"product_id":"aurora-remedios-varo","title":"Aurora - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemedios Varo's \"Aurora\" presents three ethereal figures in a forest clearing, rendered in muted tones and meticulous detail.

Her paintings explore themes of identity, transformation, and the search for knowledge. 'The Message' is a collage that exemplifies Varo's unique approach to Surrealism. The composition features a woman with a bare torso and a smiling face.

Her paintings frequently feature dreamlike scenarios populated by androgynous figures, fantastical machines, and architectural spaces. Varo's personal experiences, including her exile from Europe during World War II, deeply influenced her artistic vision. She developed a unique visual language that blends scientific precision with symbolic imagery. In \"Premonition\", Varo presents a scene that evokes a sense of foreboding and mystery. The painting depicts a group of figures draped in white robes, seemingly guided by an elaborate mechanical apparatus. The setting is a surreal, dreamlike space with a chequered floor and distant, castle-like structures. The colour palette is dominated by warm, earthy tones, which contribute to the painting's enigmatic atmosphere. The mechanical device, with its wheels and pulleys, suggests a complex system of cause and effect, hinting at the idea that the figures' actions are predetermined or influenced by unseen forces.

This work displays her characteristic approach to narrative painting, where figures appear caught in moments of quiet, alchemical transformation. The composition features two figures: a seated person in a dark suit and a taller, ethereal being whose lower half transitions into a wheel. The taller figure wears a cloak that envelops both, suggesting a shared journey or a protective bond. The background consists of a dense, vertical forest rendered in shades of olive and deep green, which creates a sense of enclosure. \n\nVaro often employed a technique involving fine, precise brushwork to achieve a luminous quality. The figures possess elongated features and large, expressive eyes, which are hallmarks of her style. The presence of a large key held by the taller figure introduces an element of mystery, a common motif in her work that hints at hidden knowledge or the unlocking of subconscious states. The cloud-like form surrounding the head of the taller figure suggests a dissolution of the physical into the atmospheric, a theme that recurs throughout her oeuvre. \n\nBy Aquarium reflects the artist's interest in esoteric traditions, science, and the occult. Her work avoids the chaotic impulses of some European surrealists, opting instead for a controlled, almost architectural precision. The colour palette is dominated by earthy tones, with the orange of the cloak providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding forest. This piece invites the viewer to consider the relationship between the physical world and the internal life of the mind, presented through a lens of quiet, deliberate fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/bather-between-light-and-darkness-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBather between Light and Darkness by René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/voltagem-dorothea-tanning\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVoltagem by Dorothea Tanning\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/remedios-varo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRemedios Varo prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58238016487759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58238016553295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58238016586063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58238016684367,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58238016717135,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58238016749903,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58238016815439,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58238016848207,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58238016880975,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58238016913743,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58238016979279,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58238017012047,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58238017077583,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58238017110351,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58238017634639,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58238017667407,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58238017732943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/By-Aquarium_Poster_CompositorV1_1782525727955-q80.jpg?v=1793484459"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-grandmother-dona-josefa-zejalvo-remedios-varo","title":"Portrait of Grandmother Doña Josefa Zejalvo - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early 1926 portrait by Remedios Varo, capturing her grandmother with academic precision and a warm, focused light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis early portrait by Remedios Varo, painted in 1926, offers a glimpse into the formative years of an artist later known for her complex, surrealist narratives. At the time of this work, Varo was eighteen years old and studying at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. The painting depicts her grandmother, Doña Josefa Zejalvo, with a focus on the physical markers of age and the gravity of the sitter's expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is traditional, placing the subject against a dark, indistinct background that directs the viewer's attention to the face. Varo employs a warm, amber-toned palette for the skin, which contrasts with the deep, shadowed tones of the clothing and the surrounding space. The brushwork is deliberate, capturing the texture of the skin and the structure of the facial features with a precision that suggests an academic training. Unlike the later, dreamlike works that define her career, this piece demonstrates a grounded approach to representation and a keen interest in human character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoña Josefa is presented with a sense of quiet dignity.

Created in 1959, this piece occupies a unique space within her output, which is more commonly associated with oil painting.

Its spine forms a wheel, suggesting a form of locomotion that blends biological structure with industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaro often explored themes of alchemy, science, and the occult. In this work, she presents a pseudo-scientific specimen, complete with a taxonomic name that translates to 'the rolling man'. The skeletal form is constructed from fish bones, wire, and wood, demonstrating her interest in the intersection of natural history and the fantastic. The creature possesses a delicate, almost fragile appearance, yet its design implies a functional purpose within a surrealist narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background of the original presentation often features a textured, atmospheric wash, which contrasts with the precise, linear quality of the sculpture itself.

It remains a singular example of her ability to bridge the gap between the organic world and the realm of invention, maintaining a sense of mystery through its precise, anatomical detail and its improbable, wheel-like anatomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-age-of-bronze-auguste-rodin-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Age of Bronze by Auguste Rodin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/crucifixion-michelangelo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCrucifixion by Michelangelo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/remedios-varo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRemedios Varo prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58826788110671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58826788176207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58826788274511,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58826788307279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58826788372815,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Homo-rodans_Poster_CompositorV1_1789877682246-q80.jpg?v=1793374211"},{"product_id":"microcosm-remedios-varo","title":"Microcosm - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1959 surrealist work by Remedios Varo, depicting a mystical connection between an earthly temple and celestial vessels through fine, alchemical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemedios Varo, a Spanish-born artist who spent much of her career in Mexico, created Microcosm in 1959.

The painting invites the viewer to consider the relationship between human agency and the natural world, presenting creation as a deliberate, collaborative craft. By visualising the world as a woven construct, Varo explores the boundaries between internal imagination and external existence. This piece remains a primary example of her ability to synthesise complex philosophical concepts into highly detailed, evocative visual narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/a-glove-the-abduction-max-klinger\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Glove: The Abduction by Max Klinger\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-garden-of-earthly-delights-central-panel-detail-hieronymus-bosch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Garden of Earthly Delights (Central Panel Detail) by Hieronymus Bosch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/remedios-varo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRemedios Varo prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59112799732047,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59112805040463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59112805073231,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Embroidering-the-Earth-s-Mantle_Poster_CompositorV1_1793982334779.jpg?v=1793982438"},{"product_id":"exploring-the-sources-of-the-orinoco-remedios-varo","title":"Exploring the Sources of the Orinoco - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA surrealist painting by Remedios Varo depicting a solitary explorer in a mechanical vessel, navigating a mysterious, watery environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemedios Varo, a Spanish-born artist who spent her most productive years in Mexico, created this work in 1959. It depicts a solitary figure navigating a small, red, boat-like vessel through a dense, watery environment. The figure, dressed in a muted uniform, operates a complex system of strings and pulleys, suggesting a scientific or exploratory mission. The vessel itself appears to be a hybrid of organic and mechanical forms, a recurring motif in Varo's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting is ambiguous, featuring tall, tree-like structures that rise from the water, creating a sense of enclosure. To the right, a small table holds a glass vessel from which water flows, adding a layer of alchemical or mystical symbolism to the scene. Varo's technique involves precise, fine brushwork, which gives the painting a luminous, almost translucent quality. The colour palette is dominated by warm, earthy tones, contrasted with the striking red of the boat and the cool blue of the flowing water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting reflects Varo's interest in the intersection of science, magic, and personal discovery. Her work often features protagonists engaged in solitary, intellectual, or spiritual quests. The composition is carefully balanced, with the central figure acting as the anchor for the viewer's gaze. The attention to detail, from the texture of the wood to the delicate lines of the rigging, demonstrates her technical skill and her ability to construct coherent, dream-like worlds. By placing the figure in such an isolated, yet purposeful environment, Varo invites the viewer to consider the nature of exploration and the search for origins, both geographical and internal.

This work belongs to a series of paintings dedicated to the signs of the zodiac. Varo, a Spanish artist who spent her most productive years in Mexico, utilised her signature technique of applying paint in fine, stippled layers to create a luminous, ethereal effect. The bull is rendered with a fiery, incandescent quality, its body composed of dense clusters of red and orange pigment that suggest heat or celestial energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe creature stands against a dark, atmospheric background, which provides a stark contrast to the luminosity of the figure. Small, precise white dots represent the constellation of Taurus, connecting the terrestrial animal to the cosmos. Varo often incorporated themes of alchemy, mysticism, and science in her work, and this piece is no exception. The bull appears as a bridge between the physical world and the astral plane. Her attention to texture, particularly the way the light seems to emanate from within the animal, demonstrates her technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of her contemporaries who focused on dreamscapes or psychological states, Varo approached her subjects with a sense of order and structural curiosity.

This print captures the fine detail of the original masonite surface, preserving the delicate stippling and the depth of the dark background.
