Nearly all of the paintings shown here are from the highly productive period from 1970 to 1981; Servando Cabrera Moreno continued to paint his large sensual canvases right up to his death, though the titles of many of the later works – A Quién le Importa (Who Cares), Cuando el Aire Tiembla (When Air Trembles), El Largo Camino de las Nostalgias (The Long Path of Nostalgia), El Silencio y la Esperanza (Silence and Hope), La Conciencia de Ser Yo (The Awareness of Being Myself), and La Fuente de la Vida (The Source of Life) – hint at some larger existential purpose and vision.
The first few paintings show him in his folk art and Picasso phase, though it is clear that already in the mid-1960s he was experimenting with a looser technique to explore body forms. By La Cordillera (The Mountain Range) in 1972, where intertwined blue limbs can just as easily be read as a landscape, his trademark style of portraying the skinscape of human bodies is established.
