Defining Moment:

1960s—shaped paintings defined her language of sculptural sensuality

Zilia Sánchez

(

b. 1926

)

Sánchez stretched canvas into sensuous geometries — curved, swelling surfaces that turn minimalism into intimacy.

Her forms breathe with quiet pressure.

Structural Focus

Boundary as Event

Edges, margins, thresholds, or limits carry meaning. Structure concentrates where form nearly disappears.

In Zilia Sánchez’s work, this approach appears where shaped canvas articulates bodily tension.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Form is constructed through measurable, non-representational means.

Constructed form prioritizes system, function, and collective use.
