The first thing my eye questions when I wake up is the small square of sky above the fig tree in the top left-hand corner of the window. If it is blue I am satisfied.

What is this painting of a landscape? It is said that landscape painting has died a natural death. Certainly there are no great modern landscapes comparable to those of the past. But what of those which are not comparable? Which are not even landscapes? For that is the point: the genre has changed beyond recognition. Cubism when it broke painting broke the landscape too.
…
A work of art is not the same thing as a scientific model. But it stands in an equivalent relationship to reality. Once it was useful to think of art as a mirror. It no longer is – because our view of nature has changed.

Danilo Duenas – The painting fallen, and the collapse of Rome

Again and again, Danilo Dueñas links his work to other artists. In the corner space, he reproduced the 1908 oil painting “Die Enthüllung des Richard Wagner Denkmals” by Anton von Werner. It depicts in great detail the huge event, which occurred in 1903 in Berlin’s Tiergarten and was attended by many Berliner artists such as painter Adolph von Menzel and sculptor Peter Breuer. The historic scene does not just unify painter and sculptor in one painting, but also represents that which fascinates Dueñas: the reality of life, which becomes art.
