Serenade with Guitar

Serenade with Guitar is an original work by Yuroz that was unveiled as a part of the Art New York 2016 Collection. 

The geometry in the composition forms the foundation of this masterpiece.  The curvatures of the guitar echo that of the accessory table which together brings a stark contrast to the angular planes of the male figure and the background.  While hinting at Cubism’s fragmented perspectives, particularly evoking Picasso’s iconic explorations of form and depth, unlike Picasso’s often cerebral approach, Yuroz infuses his shapes with warmth and sensuality.  Much like Matisse’s Joyful embrace of color and the human form, Yuroz softens the rigid boundaries between object and subject. The movement of the lines feels like a dance—simultaneously tender and electric—suggesting the influence of Modigliani’s elongated figures, with their melancholic grace, yet his subjects are less restrained, with faces turned with palpable longing.

In the fluidity of the composition, we also glimpse the mark of Chagall, particularly in the dreamlike, almost ethereal quality of the moment captured—an embrace of both the corporeal and the transcendent. Yuroz, however, dispenses with Chagall’s whimsy in favor of a grounded, earthy passion. The guitar, an instrument of seduction and inspiration, becomes more than just a prop as it serves as a metonym for the love shared between lovers, each note felt through their embrace, each chord strummed as an expression of deep, mutual devotion.

What makes Yuroz’s work such an exquisite investment is not merely the nod to these art-historical giants but his ability to synthesize their voices into something that feels so emotionally urgent and relevant today. While contemporary art often veers toward the conceptual and detached, Yuroz offers something different—an intimate, human narrative steeped in timeless emotion. His paintings, like this “Serenade with Guitar,” are not only beautiful objects but reservoirs of deep feeling, holding the promise of both aesthetic appreciation and long-term financial growth. As the art world trends toward the personal and the soulful, the works of Yuroz occupy a rare space where passion meets profound artistic skill—making each canvas not only a testament to love and art but an investment in the enduring value of both.

To own a Yuroz today is to step into the continuum of art history while also holding a piece of the future, where the deeply personal can become universal, and the visual can transcend into the realm of the eternal. His works, unapologetically radiant, have all the markings of future classics, bound to appreciate as both collectors and institutions recognize the profound emotional resonance he brings to the contemporary scene.
