About this artwork
This is the “Sentinel – Kinda” by Antonio Obá, created in 2021 with oil paint on canvas. It arrived on a long‑term loan from the Tate Americas Foundation, thanks to the Latin American Acquisitions Committee and generous donors Estrellita B. Brodsky and Tiqui Atencio Demirdjian. Obá, born in 1983, is a contemporary artist who blends bold color and dynamic brushwork to explore identity and space. In this piece he layers rich hues to suggest movement and tension, inviting viewers to linger over the interplay of light and shadow. Notice how the surface feels both controlled and alive, a hallmark of Obá’s energetic visual language.
