Juisbres by Morandá is part of a larger body of work that pays tribute to the personality and writing of Angelico Morandá, a Spanish poet invented by the artist. Ghenov—who was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and immigrated to the US in 1989—created Morandá as a spiritual visionary. This painting’s cryptic title (featuring the fictitious word juisbres) and abstract imagery represent Morandá’s mystical visions and writing, alluding to the often blurred distinctions between myth and truth in the histories of art and literature.
