As for the magical aspects, it is unquestioned that a good portion of Obregón's painting reaches for a representation of the "marvelous reality" that Alejo Carpentier spoke of when referring to the scope of creation of Latin American artists. The art of the twentieth century discovered reality beyond appearances and got in touch with it. Obregón's painting points to that deeper, more essential nature, which is never limited to reproducing the tropical landscape, but transcends it to achieve evocative structures, singular forms and charged images.
