Expressive figurative painting by Mexican artist José Salazar Ruiz Esparza (1926–2006), signed and dated “Salazar ’82”. The composition depicts a loosely rendered group gathered around a table, executed in Salazar’s characteristic expressive style with heavy texture, layered brushwork, and a rich, earthy palette of greens, reds, ochres, and yellows. Faces and figures are abstracted, emphasizing mood and movement over strict realism. The work dates to the early 1980s, a period consistent with other signed and dated examples of Salazar’s work that have appeared at auction. The signature and date format closely match documented examples.
