Landscapes From The 5th Dimension

Ivo Vergara

70 X 65″

Oil Paint

Ivo Vergara’s work is a mesmerizing fusion of organic fluidity and structured abstraction, a dreamlike interplay of color, form, and movement. This particular piece transports viewers into a surreal landscape where the natural world and abstract geometry coexist in a delicate, harmonious balance.

The composition is a dynamic explosion of colors—fiery reds, deep blues, and golden yellows melt into soft pastels, creating an ethereal atmosphere that suggests both terrestrial and celestial realms. Vergara’s brushwork is both controlled and expressive, seamlessly blending elements that resemble cloud formations, coral reefs, and geological formations with geometric, almost architectural motifs. The intricate, layered details in the painting evoke a sense of depth and weightlessness, as though the forms are in constant motion, shifting between solidity and dissolution.

At the center of the composition, a series of interconnected abstract shapes, rendered in warm neutral tones, appear to emerge from or dissolve into the surrounding environment. These forms, reminiscent of fragmented sculptures or biomorphic figures, suggest transformation— perhaps a meditation on the intersection of humanity and nature, or the fluid boundaries between reality and imagination.

Vergara’s use of negative space is equally compelling, as the light blue sky-like voids give the piece an airy openness, allowing the viewer’s eye to travel freely across the composition. This interplay of density and emptiness heightens the painting’s surreal quality, as if the entire scene exists within a liminal space between dream and reality.
