Lita Albuquerque — Ophio Del Una Ciela, 2005
Signed & Numbered Color Screenprint, Edition of 105
A visually striking and highly atmospheric screenprint by internationally recognized environmental artist Lita Albuquerque, whose work explores the intersection of landscape, cosmology, memory, and human consciousness.
Created in 2005, Ophio Del Una Ciela presents a dreamlike celestial composition in luminous shades of blue, teal, and black. Sweeping organic forms drift across the image like cosmic currents or celestial pathways, while a field of scattered white marks evokes stars suspended within deep space. A faint circular line encloses the composition, reinforcing Albuquerque’s longstanding fascination with astronomy, mapping, and the human relationship to the universe.
The result is both meditative and monumental — an image that balances abstraction and landscape while reflecting Albuquerque’s internationally celebrated earthworks and sky-based installations.
Printed by the renowned Los Angeles workshop Self Help Graphics, this example is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
