Andres Barrioquinto 1975 Untitled signed and dated 2017 (lower right) oil on canvas The sap of Surrealism rises from the roots of Barrioquinto’s dreams to nourish his figurative paintings. The latent eroticism has as its necessary compliments, the intense fertility symbolized by the lush clusters of butterflies which envelopes her like a partial cape and links her to mother earth. It remains an intensely lyrical and romantic image, with its jewel like butterflies perched at the child body, as if on nectar. Barrioquinto speaks double visual language, fantasy and realism; he creates surreal details that are still within the realm of hyper-realism, no distortions, no visual nightmares; and these inventions remain quite rational. Generally, the only whim (bizarrerie) which isn't afforded by Barrioquinto — he doesn't create a visual language that is absolutely unclear. His portraits of human heads and bodies (as in this one) covered in butterflies and other excesses of fantasy, are greatly admired and will remain a source of fascination for generations to come.
