Hello, this item is a limited-edition color lithograph titled Hommage à Brenghal de Velours, numbered 8/30 (VIII/XXX), and signed in pencil by the artist—most likely identified as José Carrasco. The composition features a surreal image of a rustic container filled with luminous, stylized flowers, set upon a chessboard-like floor in a desolate landscape. This visual vocabulary, along with the theatrical lighting and symbolic bee, suggests a postmodern homage to metaphysical or magical realist traditions, and possibly a tribute to Northern Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel (Brueghel) through a modern surrealist lens.
The work is in excellent condition and measures 22 x 25 inches framed. Though the artist is relatively obscure, Carrasco’s work has surfaced occasionally in European and Latin American print markets, usually as part of small, surrealist-leaning editions.
