Avanyu - Julian Martinez

Avanyu, ancestral breath captured by Julian Martinez's art
The art print of Avanyu reveals a composition where sinuous lines and symbolic motifs dialogue with subdued flat areas and controlled contrasts. The curves evoke the water serpent, a central element of the cosmological story, while the limited palette highlights the graphic strength of the line. The technique reproduces the sensation of material and the fluidity of the original drawing, offering an atmosphere that is both contemplative and deeply ritualistic. Every detail invites careful reading, between iconographic tradition and formal simplicity.
