{"product_id":"la-vigilia-benjamin-canas","title":"La Vigilia - Benjamin Cañas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dreamlike, surrealist composition by Salvadoran artist Benjamin Cañas, depicting figures in a quiet, atmospheric interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Vigilia, or The Vigil, presents a scene of quiet tension characteristic of the work of Benjamin Cañas. The composition features figures arranged in a dreamlike, interior space. A large, seated figure occupies the upper portion of the bed, while another individual rests beneath the covers. A third figure sits at the edge of the bed, draped in fabric that merges with the surrounding environment. The perspective is slightly distorted, creating a sense of unease and detachment from reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCañas employs a muted, monochromatic palette dominated by ochre, sepia, and warm beige tones. This choice of colour creates a hazy, atmospheric quality, as if the scene is viewed through a veil of memory or sleep. The stark contrast of the red floor provides a grounding element, yet it also adds to the theatrical nature of the composition. The bed itself appears to float or exist in a void, detached from any clear architectural context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in El Salvador, Cañas developed a visual language that often explored themes of isolation, human fragility, and the subconscious. His figures are rendered with soft, rounded forms, lacking sharp edges, which contributes to the ethereal and somewhat melancholic mood of the painting. The work avoids literal narrative, instead inviting the viewer to consider the psychological state of the subjects. The title suggests a period of wakefulness or watching, perhaps implying a sense of duty or anxiety that persists even in the stillness of the room. The execution reflects a technical precision in the handling of light and shadow, allowing the forms to emerge gradually from the background. This piece is representative of the artist's ability to construct internal worlds that feel both personal and universal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/the-nightingales-song-at-midnight-and-the-morning-rain-joan-miro\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Nightingale's Song at Midnight and the Morning Rain - Joan Miró — Joan Miró\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Benjamín Cañas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58752120455503,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58752140378447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58752140411215,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58752140443983,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58752140476751,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58752140509519,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58752140542287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58752140575055,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58752140607823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58752140640591,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58752140673359,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58752140706127,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/La-Vigilia_Poster_CompositorV1_1789162330345.jpg?v=1789163144","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/la-vigilia-benjamin-canas","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
