This drawing by Raquel Forner synthesizes abstraction, surrealism and expressionism to create a landscape that seems to defy time, space, and gravity inhabited by amorphous otherworldly creatures. Beginning in the late 1950s, Forner turned her focus from earthly conflicts such as war and strife towards an interest in science fiction and space travel. Like other artists of that generation, she begins exploring frontiers beyond earth, where technological developments and imagination provide hope and inspiration.

Este dibujo de Raquel Forner sintetiza la abstracción, el surrealismo y el expresionismo para crear un paisaje que parece desafiar el tiempo, el espacio y la gravedad habitado por criaturas amorfas de otro mundo. A fines de la década de 1950, Forner cambió su enfoque de los conflictos terrenales como la guerra y las luchas hacia un interés en la ciencia ficción y los viajes espaciales. Como otros artistas de esa generación, comenzó a explorar fronteras más allá de la realidad, donde los avances tecnológicos y la imaginación brindan esperanza e inspiración.
