Magdiel Signed Abstract Still Life — Oil on Masonite, Framed 

An original oil on Masonite panel signed by Magdiel, presenting a boldly stylized still life in a spare, high-contrast palette. A broad violet pitcher anchors the lower composition while an abstracted cerulean bird form rises above it, wings rendered in sharp angular planes against a heavily worked silver-gray and olive green ground. A flat cerulean band defines the foreground plane, and confident black linework outlines each form with graphic authority. The panel's textured surface is fully integrated into the painting's visual rhythm — paint applied with deliberate weight rather than refinement. The composition carries clear resonance with 20th-century Latin American modernism: the vessel-and-bird motif, the reduced palette, and the bold outlining all echo the formal vocabulary of Mexican abstraction in the tradition of Tamayo and Soriano.

Signed lower right within the blue band; a date notation appears below the signature. The artist is not currently listed in traded auction records — this is a signed original offered on its own visual merits. Framed in a lacquered purple wood frame with white fabric liner, color-matched to the painting's dominant violet tones, and presented without glass to allow the painted surface to read without reflection.

CONDITION

Excellent. No damage, cracking, or inpainting visible on the panel surface. Frame presents cleanly with no notable flaws.
