Description

Amarotico produced architectural fantasies and “dream castles,” depicting assemblages of interlocking and overlapping geometric shapes. In this painting, the castle appears to be two distinct structures that sit side by side like a seated couple. In the nearly featureless surroundings, a red sun floats at the upper center of the painting.
