Sévrulo Esmeraldo Signed Limited Edition Abstract Etching, Brazil, Edition 9/30

A refined abstract etching by Brazilian artist Sévrulo Esmeraldo, known for his elegant graphic language and exploration of geometric abstraction. The composition features a striking central form rendered in textured golden tones, flanked by dark cross-hatched fields that create a strong architectural balance.

The work demonstrates Esmeraldo’s distinctive sensitivity to line and structure. Fine etched marks build subtle surface depth, while the restrained palette of gold and charcoal emphasizes rhythm, repetition, and spatial tension. The folded, planar form at the center suggests both sculptural volume and minimalist geometry—hallmarks of the artist’s practice.

Esmeraldo was an influential figure in Brazilian modernism and kinetic art, exhibiting internationally and producing works that bridge drawing, printmaking, and sculptural thinking. His graphic works are admired for their precision, quiet sophistication, and strong decorative presence.

This example is signed by the artist and numbered 9 from an edition of 30, enhancing its collectibility. The print is presented in a simple gilt frame with a generous mat, giving the work a clean gallery presentation.
