The artwork titled “Alma Dás Pirámides” was created by Xul Solar in 1921. The piece is part of the Expressionism art movement and falls within the genre of symbolic painting.
In “Alma Dás Pirámides,” the viewer is presented with an otherworldly scene dominated by a large, enigmatic figure with an elongated head and green-tinted glasses, reminiscent of an ancient deity or guardian, gazing intently. Beside it, a smaller, ethereal figure draped in a white robe stands, exuding an aura of mysticism. The background features two prominent pyramids, evoking the ancient Egyptian landscape, under a night sky illuminated by a bright moon. The ground is strewn with skulls and scrolls, adding to the painting’s symbolic and mystical undertones. The color palette, rich in warm hues of yellow, orange, and deep blue, enhances the surreal and expressive quality of the scene, inviting viewers to ponder the deeper meanings and symbols within the composition.
