About the artwork / The inspiration
The Tango is a passionate and intimate partner dance and music genre that originated in the 1880s along the Río de la Plata, the border between Argentina and Uruguay. Born in the working-class port areas, it blends African, Native American, and European immigrant rhythms. The dance is famous for its dramatic flair, staccato movements, and close embrace.
Artistic Techniques & Materials
To express this emotional dance, the warm colors have their nuances accentuated by the lower sand structure. The staccato movements of the couple go on in the bandoneón of the world-famous Astor Piazzolla.
