In this piece, Crespo depicts Eshu-Beleke, a manifestation of the orisha Elegguá, known as the guardian of pathways and the divine messenger. The use of intense colors such as red and black highlights the duality of this deity, who can be both benevolent and mischievous.

The intricate patterns and abstract forms surrounding the central face evoke the dynamic energy and trickster nature of Eshu-Beleke. The eyes, a recurring element in Crespo’s works, reflect the penetrating and powerful gaze of the orisha, symbolizing wisdom and vigilance.

The texture and fine details of the canvas create a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to explore every corner of the artwork and uncover the hidden stories within the strokes and colors.

Symbolism:

Duality: The combination of colors and shapes reflects the dual nature of Eshu-Beleke, as both protector and trickster.

Penetrating Eyes: The eyes symbolize the strength and power of the deity, directly connecting with the viewer.

Abstract Patterns: Represent the pathways and crossroads that Eshu-Beleke guards, as well as the challenges and mischief he presents.
