About This Work
In *CANTO III The Well of Souls II*, Jordi Diaz Alama extends his contemporary figurative practice into a theatrical, psychologically charged tableau. Executed with virtuosic draftsmanship and painterly authority, the work synthesises Old Master lighting with a distinctly modern sensibility—building form through layered, fluid brushwork and incisive tonal contrasts. Diaz Alama’s choreography of bodies and gestures evokes a descent into collective memory, where myth, faith and historical trauma converge.
