Glory

Asencio’s work is recognized for its sensually simple compositions, mastery of abstract color application and exquisite figurative rendering. A champion of the “less is more” approach, he is an artist that possesses the rare talent of making the seemingly austere, magnificent. Though far from a minimalist, Asencio’s work is quite complex. One can surmise profound narratives in his work via his subjects’ body language, color selection, technique and artistic innuendo. Glory is a refined and sincere statement about the grandeur of simplicity. In this work he embraces mere existence in all its wonder and majesty. Symbolic in stance, the figure is poised in a seated fetal position like an asana dedicated to the purification of mind, body and spirit. She cradles her body in her arms and bows her head as if holding on to an inner sanctum, revering the divine beauty and glory within herself. Copper and blue surround the figure like a fine patina, as if aging with an artistic perfection found only in nature. Glory is a simple image with a simple message about the splendor of being alive. A glorious place to rejuvenate the spirit and find rest for soul.
