Artist, Mexican, born 1942

The image shows a rural landscape with a low angle view of an open field. The horizon is high in the picture with minimal sky visible. A stack of rectangular hay bales is off-center to the right, casting a shadow. The hay bales are tightly packed in a block-like formation. The image is monochromatic in shades of sepia. The field has harvested crops creating parallel lines leading to the horizon. The sepia tones create a warm and tranquil atmosphere.
